Summary This document outlines the operational procedures and program description for the "Basic JMP-JMS Test" diagnostic tool, designed for the PDP-8E computer. The diagnostic evaluates the functionality of JMP (Jump) and JMS (Jump to Subroutine) instructions using 82 individual tests. It requires a PDP-8E equipped with a teletype, utilizes the standard binary loader, and stores its routines in the last memory page. The document provides instructions on how to start the test, how to recover from errors, and explains the internal logic, including how the program handles test counters, direct/indirect addressing, and error reporting.
