User Commands
pq
pq
The pq command displays the specified memory quadword (64-bit).
Format
pq [start_address [end_address [iterations [silent]]]]
Parameters
start_address
Specifies a hexadecimal number that represents a legal address at which to start the
display. The default is the current address.
end_address
Specifies a hexadecimal number that represents a legal address at which to end the
display. The default is the current address plus 127 bytes.
iterations
Specifies how many times the data is read. The default is 1.
silent
Specifies whether or not the data is displayed. Setting this field to 1 causes the data
to be read but not displayed. The default is 0 (data is displayed).
Description
The pq command displays the specified memory in quadword format. If no address
is specified, then the current memory quadword and the following 15 quadwords are
displayed. The field displayed after the quadword represents the translation of the
memory contents in ASCII characters. If the memory contents can be translated to an
ASCII character, then that character is displayed; otherwise, a dot is displayed.
The silent and iterations fields are often used together to continuously perform read
operations, thus, avoiding slowdowns caused by displaying the data. The repeating
cycles can be monitored with test equipment.
