DMP. Command
Dump internal informations
Intention
This command makes internal structures like the stack or the speed-table visible to the user.
You can see all variables, the stack. Or you can get the information on how fast single lines have been processed (speed table).
1. DMP.1 - Show Speed-Table
Using DMP.1 to get a "Speed Table", you can get a lot of information for debugging.
In the very left column, you can see the line-number.
In the second column, you can see the Number of "Ticks" that this line needed to execute. My current i7 CPU can make 16.000.000 Ticks in one seconds. On your computer this may differ.
The third row shows you how often this line has been executed.
You will also see all Macros expanded in this DMP.1-View.
Also you see here that the SPR will jump over a lot of Comment-Lins, thats why they did not use any time. Therefore the (automatic) Jump-Instruction in Line 001 needs 130 Ticks.
Syntax
DMP.[P1][|P2|P3]

POP.$$TST
MBX.$$TST
