The I/O Page Utility (IPU) was developed to provide users with a
utility to access and analyze the Q-bus I/O Page of VAXELN
target systems.  IPU is similar to the console emulator Octal
Debugging Technique (ODT) used on the LSI-11/23 and PDP-11/23
computers.  Currently the VAXELN Toolkit does not furnish a tool
for this type of analysis. IPU provides the user with an
interactive interface to control and monitor the characteristics
and activities associated with the I/O Page of a VAXELN target
system.  A set of commands, similar to DCL, allow the user to
configure the session work environment; to inspect and manipulate
registers in the Q-bus I/O Page; and to trouble shoot
communications with I/O devices.

                     VAXELN I/O Page Utility

This session will discuss a software tool developed to assist
software engineers in the analysis of the Q-bus I/O Page of
VAXELN target systems.  The I/O Page Utility (IPU) is similar to
the console emulator Octal Debugging Technique (ODT) used on the
LSI-11 and PDP-11 computers.  Currently the VAXELN Toolkit does
not furnish a tool for this type of analysis. IPU provides the
user with an interactive interface to control and monitor the
characteristics and activities associated with the I/O Page of a
VAXELN target system.  A set of commands, similar to DCL, allow
the user to:

o  Configure the session work environment.
o  Inspect and manipulate registers in the Q-bus I/O Page.
o  Trouble shoot communications with I/O devices.

This session will describe why the utility was developed and how
the utility can be used.
