Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform test without the operator, by providing a console control request instruction in a test program and executing a command the same as that given from an input device with the output of this instruction. CONSTITUTION:Without the interference of the operator, a result the same as that of test obtained from the console control of the operator can be obtained. The console control instruction is provided in a test program executed at the 1st data processor (main body) 1 and a command train similar to that given with an input device such as a keyboard 12 is stored in a main memory 2 of the main body beforehand, and when the 2nd processor 14 detects the issue of said console control request instruction, the device 14 fetches said command train for execution. As a result, the test of the main body 1 can be performed automatically without the interference of the operator.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present implementation I14 is a data processing system including a first data processing device and a second data processing device, in which a test program executed by the first data processing device includes; In addition to embedding the console control request command, a sequence of commands equivalent to commands input using an input device such as a keyboard is stored in the main memory in advance, and the processing device of g2 embodies the console control request command. The present invention relates to a data processing system that captures and executes the above-mentioned command sequence upon learning that the command has been issued.

When testing a main unit, it is common practice to run a test program in one main unit to perform a functional test. However, when running this test program, the external environment of the device under test 1t (OPU itself) is varied in order to be tested.

The test program requires an operator and
The program requests the operator to control the console as necessary. The operator is.

It controls the controller according to the test program's requests and notifies the test program that the processing as instructed has been completed. In this way, in the conventional technology, when trying to test the main unit with a test program etc.
Since it required operators, it was difficult to automate it.

The present invention is based on the above considerations, and aims to provide a data processing system that can obtain results similar to those obtained by operator console control without operator intervention. . For this reason, the data processing system of the present invention includes a first data processing device, a second data processing device that analyzes commands input from an input device in a command human input reception unit, and executes a corresponding processing program; In a data processing device including an interface for communicating between a first data processing device and a second data processing device, the first data processing l7Ict includes a program in which a console control request command is embedded, and an operand of the control request command. A command sequence consisting of a command equivalent to the command input from the manual input, and the console control request command being set in the command register are detected, and the processing request is sent to the second command via the interface. Equipped with processing request notification means for notifying the data processing device.

When the second data processing device receives the processing request, it reads the instruction in the instruction register, and if the instruction is a console control request instruction, takes in the command string and passes it to the command input reception unit. **It shall be provided with a processing means. The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

When a program is executed, instructions are fetched from memory 2 and set in instruction register 3, and the instructions in instruction register 3 are decoded by instruction decoder 4. If this command is a console control request command, the signal on the request signal line is turned on.

The service processor 14 starts one main unit.

It is capable of resetting, displaying and changing the internal state, controlling the system power supply voltage, controlling the clock frequency, etc. Normally, the above operations are executed based on commands input from the keyboard 12.
