,assembly language, and encoding. The nod4 architecture has an 8-bit data path and an 8-bitaddress bus. From the programmer’s point of view nod4 has the following CPU registers • A – accumulator • C – condition code register (Z,C,I) • S – stack pointer • X – index register • PC – program address counterThe A register is primarily for handling data. The C register contains the zero flag (Z),carry/borrow flag (C), and the interrupt enable flag (I). The stack pointer maintains the stackdata structure. The X register is a fairly general purpose index register. The program counter(PC) can be thought of as referring to the next instruction however due to pre-fetching has a twistdiscussed later, that the assembly language programmer is

This lower speed ofoperation and basic functionality is adequate for educational laboratory exercises.In this case, the novel VSA system provides a user interface that has much of the basicfunctionality of standard hardware VSA’s, but with the limitation that bandwidth is constrainedby the 1.25 MSa/s sampling rate of the DAQ. The system provides real-time plots of I/Qconstellation as well as signal spectrum displays.
