DUMP
The record command, DUMP, returns bus event data from the record memory.
Blocks of data may be dumped by specifying a starting and ending memory location
or a starting location and a length. Issuing DUMP without any options will dump the
entire record memory.
DUMP returns blocks of data in Motorola S record (S1S9) format, up to 32 data
bytes per line. Any range of locations, from 0 to 32767, may be dumped.
This command does not have a query option.
TYPE Record command
SYNTAX DUMP
or
DUMP {location} TO {location}
or
DUMP {location} LENGTH {count}
location is an absolute address of the record memory, from 0 to
32767.
count is the number of record memory locations to be dumped
from 0 to 32767.
RESPONSE Data encoded in S1S9 file format: S1 data records with a maximum
of 32 data bytes per line, followed by an S9 termination record.
REMARKS S1 data record format:
<type> <record length> <address> <data>
<checksum>
where (all numbers are in hexadecimal):
type is the record header: S1
record length
is the byte count (two hex characters).
address is the record memory starting address (four hex
characters). The address is incremented twice for each location
that is dumped. (address is always twice the starting record
memory location.)
