6.2.1 Definition of the macro

A macro is a group of repetitive instructions in a program which are codified only once and can be used as many times as necessary.

The main difference between a macro and a procedure is that in the macro the passage of parameters is possible and in the procedure it is not, this is only applicable for the TASM - there are other programming languages which do allow it. At the moment the macro is executed each parameter is substituted by the name or value specified at the time of the call.

We can say then that a procedure is an extension of a determined program, while the macro is a module with specific functions which can be used by different programs.

Another difference between a macro and a procedure is the way of calling each one, to call a procedure the use of a directive is required, on the other hand the call of macros is done as if it were an assembler instruction.

6.2.2 Syntax of a Macro

The parts which make a macro are:

Declaration of the macro

Code of the macro

Macro termination directive

The declaration of the macro is done the following way:

NameMacro MACRO [parameter1, parameter2...]

Even though we have the functionality of the parameters it is possible to create a macro which does not need them.

The directive for the termination of the macro is: ENDM

An example of a macro, to place the cursor on a determined position on the screen is:

Position MACRO Row, Column

PUSH AX

PUSH BX

PUSH DX

MOV AH, 02H

MOV DH, Row

MOV DL, Column

MOV BH, 0

INT 10H

POP DX

POP BX

POP AX

ENDM

To use a macro it is only necessary to call it by its name, as if it were another assembler instruction, since directives are no longer necessary as in the case of the procedures.

Example:

Position 8, 6

6.2.3 Macro Libraries

One of the facilities that the use of macros offers is the creation of libraries, which are groups of macros which can be included in a program from a different file.

The creation of these libraries is very simple, we only have to write a file with all the macros which will be needed and save it as a text file.

To call these macros it is only necessary to use the following instruction Include NameOfTheFile, on the part of our program where we would normally write the macros, this is, at the beginning of our program, before the declaration of the memory model.

The macros file was saved with the name of MACROS.TXT, the instruction Include would be used the following way:

;Beginning of the program

Include MACROS.TXT

.MODEL SMALL

.DATA

;The data goes here

.CODE

Beginning:

;The code of the program is inserted here

.STACK

;The stack is defined

End beginning

;Our program ends

More debug program examples

In this section we provide you several assembler programs to run in the debug program. You can execute each assembler program using the "t" (trace) command, to see what each instruction does.

First example

-a0100

297D:0100 MOV AX,0006 ; Puts value 0006 at register AX

297D:0103 MOV BX,0004 ;Puts value 0004 at register BX

297D:0106 ADD AX,BX ;Adds BX to AX contents

297D:0108 INT 20 ;Causes end of the Program

The only thing that this program does is to save two values in two registers and add the value of one to the other.

Second example

- a100

0C1B:0100 jmp 125 ; Jumps to direction 125H

0C1B:0102 [Enter]

- e 102 'Hello, How are you ?' 0d 0a '$'

- a125

0C1B:0125 MOV DX,0102 ; Copies string to DX register

0C1B:0128 MOV CX,000F ; Times the string will be displayed

0C1B:012B MOV AH,09 ; Copies 09 value to AH register

0C1B:012D INT 21 ; Displays string

0C1B:012F DEC CX ; Reduces in 1 CX

0C1B:0130 JCXZ 0134 ; If CX is equal to 0 jumps to 0134

0C1B:0132 JMP 012D ; Jumps to direction 012D

0C1B:0134 INT 20 ; Ends the program

This program displays on the screen 15 times a character string.

Third example

-a100

297D:0100 MOV AH,01 ;Function to change the cursor

297D:0102 MOV CX,0007 ;Forms the cursor

297D:0105 INT 10 ;Calls for BIOS

297D:0107 INT 20 ;Ends the program

This program is good for changing the form of the cursor.

Fourth example

-a100

297D:0100 MOV AH,01 ; Funtion 1 (reads keyboard)

297D:0102 INT 21 ; Calls for DOS

297D:0104 CMP AL,0D ; Compares if what is read is a carriage return

297D:0106 JNZ 0100 ; If it is not, reads another character

297D:0108 MOV AH,02 ; Funtion 2 (writes on the screen)

297D:010A MOV DL,AL ; Character to write on AL

297D:010C INT 21 ; Calls for DOS

297D:010E INT 20 ; Ends the program

This program uses DOS 21H interruption. It uses two functions of the same: the first one reads the keyboard (function 1) and the second one writes on the screen. It reads the keyboard characters until it finds a carriage

return.

Fifth example

-a100

297D:0100 MOV AH,02 ; Function 2 (writes on the screen)

297D:0102 MOV CX,0008; Puts value 0008 on register CX

297D:0105 MOV DL,00 ; Puts value 00 on register DL

297D:0107 RCL BL,1 ; Rotates the byte in BL to the left by one bit

; through the carry flag

297D:0109 ADC DL,30 ; Converts flag register to1

297D:010C INT 21 ; Calls for DOS

297D:010E LOOP 0105 ; Jumps if CX > 0 to direction 0105

297D:0110 INT 20 ; Ends the program

This program displays on the screen a binary number through a conditional cycle (LOOP) using byte rotation.

Sixth example

-a100

297D:0100 MOV AH,02 ; Function 2 (writes on the screen)

297D:0102 MOV DL,BL ; Puts BL's value on DL

297D:0104 ADD DL,30 ; Adds value 30 to DL

297D:0107 CMP DL,3A ; Compares 3A value with DL's contents without

; affecting its value only modifying the state of

; the car

297D:010A JL 010F ; jumps if < direction 010f

297D:010C ADD DL,07 ; Adds 07 value on DL

297D:010F INT 21 ; Calls for Dos

297D:0111 INT 20 ; Ends the Program

This program prints a zero value on hex digits

Seventh example

-a100

297D:0100 MOV AH,02 ; Function 2 (writes on the screen)

297D:0102 MOV DL,BL ; Puts BL value on DL

297D:0104 AND DL,0F ; Carries ANDing numbers bit by bit

297D:0107 ADD DL,30 ; Adds 30 to Dl

297D:010A CMP DL,3A ; Compares Dl with 3A

297D:010D JL 0112 ; Jumps if < 0112 direction

297D:010F ADD DL, 07 ; Adds 07 to DL

297D:0112 INT 21 ; Calls for Dos

297D:0114 INT 20 ; Ends the program

This program is used to print two digit hex numbers.

297D:0100 MOV AH,02 ; Function 2 (writes on the screen)

297D:0102 MOV DL,BL ; Puts BL value on DL

I. Introduction

RUISE Control systems on automobiles allow people to drive long distances with ease. While driving long distances can be a very tiring experience, it was made much less tiring with the creation of cruise control. Cruise control allows a driver to set his vehicle to a desired speed and have it stay at that speed until he tells it to change—it eliminates the need to control the speed with the gas pedal.

This document examines the relationships between the physics of an automobile and the operation of cruise control systems. It gives a brief history of the early development of cruise control, and then examines the technical side of the systems. It analyzes a simplified model of a cruise control system, and then looks at where other factors could be included to improve the usefulness of the system. It then explores a real world cruise control system from an actual modern production car to see how much more complex an actual system is compared to the simplified model. It also looks to what is currently being developed with adaptive cruise control, and how this technology could be beneficial now and in the future.
