1-1 SYSTEM CONCEPT

The EM-180 Diagnostic Emulator is a microprocessor test and diagnosis instrument designed to emulate the Z-80 or Z-80A microprocessors. The Diangnostic Emulator consists of an Operator's Station with Keyboard and Display Panel and an Emulator Pod and Cables for connection to the user's system. The EM-180 is fast and easy to use and includes many diagnostic capabilities for troubleshooting problems in the user's system.

The EM-180B is a high speed version of the EM-180 designed to emulate the Z-80B microprocessor at its full rated speed. The use and operation of the EM-180B is identical to the EM-180.

1-2 TRANSPARENCY

The EM-180 Diagnostic Emulator is transparent to the normal operation of the target system in that emulation is in real-time, with no additional processor cycles required as a result of the emulation process. There are no target system addresses or I/O ports needed or used by the EM-180 and there are no programs or other software objects that are required to be in the target address space. As a consequence of this transparency, the user should not experience difficulties in using the EM-180 Diagnostic Emulator with his system even if there are critical software timing constraints in his system.
