Vector Module Registers

The vector module registers consist of the following:

• Internal processor registers (IPRs) (see Table 7–1)

• Vector indirect registers (see Table 7–2)

• Vector Length, Vector Count, and Vector Mask control registers

This chapter explains how to access the registers and then shows the

registers. See your System Technical User’s Guide for complete descriptions

of the registers.

7.1 Console Commands to Access Registers

From the console, the EXAMINE and DEPOSIT commands are used to

read and write the IPRs and the vector indirect registers. The vector data

registers can also be accessed from the console. The qualiﬁers differ:

• /I — to read and write the IPRs

• /M — to read and write the vector indirect registers, except for the 16

vector data registers

• /VE — to read and write the vector data registers

From the console, the Vector Length, Vector Count, and Vector Mask control

registers can be speciﬁed as VLR, VCR, and VMR after DEPOSIT and

EXAMINE commands with no qualiﬁers. VLR and VCR are 7-bit registers

(Figure 7–1), and VMR is a 64-bit register (Figure 7–2).
