DEBUGGING FUNCTIONS
Sometimes to isolate a malfunction, it is
useful to pinpoint and exercise a specific Interrupt, I/O
address or memory address. That is the purpose of the Debugging
Functions, which allow direct triggering or interrogation
of hardware.
This utility can be used to give you the
state of a device, reset the device, or help to pin down the
exact cause of a failure that Micro-Scope has caught.
Execute
Interrupts – This function allows the user
to specify the execution of any BIOS or hardware device interrupt-based
call, and to see the results of that call.
Screenshot
– EXECUTE INTERRUPTS
There are 256 interrupt levels. The first
16 are reserved for IRQs, although these can also be triggered
with the Execute Interrupt utility.
In/Out to I/O Address –
This feature allows you to write to, or read from, a specific
I/O location. One byte of information will be transferred,
making it possible to pinpoint failing ports, registers, etc.
Read/Write to Real Memory
– One byte of information can be written to or read
from a location in the first 1MB of memory, by entering the
segment and offset of that location.
Read/Write to Protected Memory
– One byte of information can be written to or read
from a location in upper memory (over 1MB). This feature cannot
be used if a memory driver or paging-type memory manager is
loaded.
These debugging features are very powerful
troubleshooting aids and should not be used without complete
documentation of the functions being manipulated.

Recent Review:
 "In
the service business, time is money. The Micro2000 Universal
Diagnostic Toolkit is worth its weight in gold for any service
company. The cost of the product is quickly recovered because
of faster turn around time when fixing problem systems. The
product also helps control business costs simply because technicians
are more accurately diagnosing what parts they require for
system repairs." Compunotes
