-> PHASE 1

3. Running the simulator

To run the program click on the init button (highlighted in yellow in fig. below) that would bring the file upload dialogbox.

Navigate the Program folder and choose which program you would like to run. On Accepting the file click ok then you will see in the console the lines of code that has been loaded into the memory.

4. Testing the simulator

• Press those switch buttons on top to set the value where entry point of the program is located.
• Load the value in the switch to the Program Counter (PC) by pressing the LD button adjacent to it.
• Once the Value is loaded it would turn on the simulated LEDs.

Now there are two options to choose to test the simulator

• You can test the program step by step using the SS button. It will traverse through the program normally as the Program Counter is incremented.

• OR

• You can run the program directly by using the run Button. As soon as the Run button is pressed, the PC will increment or jump to other instructions on its own and the Run indicator will turn GREEN. Once the program comes to a halt, the halt LED indicator will turn RED and the Run indicator will turn BLACK. After this no more programs can be run unless it is reset. The simulator will be in halt state till it is reset.

• Follow steps 1-3
• Click on Assemble button which will pop up a file selector.
