Abstract
The main aim of this lab is to introducing one person with the assembly language operating
system by using EMU8086 (The Microprocessor Emulator) software system . By doing this lab a
person will gather the knowledge how to move a value/character in a register, write a program,
execute a program and different applications of EMU8086 (The Microprocessor Emulator)
software system.
This lab contains with some logical operations like summation, division, multiplication, power
calculation etc and a particular problem (equation) is done in different ways like how a person
can do arithmetic operations by using one/ two or three resistors. How a person can see memory
address and how to read a memory content also included in this lab.

Introduction

Experiments type: This experiment deals with basic operating system of assembly
language using EMU8086 (The Microprocessor Emulator) software system.

Expectation: Anyone can expect to learn how to implement an assembly language and
arithmetic operation in EMU8086 (The Microprocessor Emulator) software system.

Experiments task: In the lab a person will perform summation of two integers by using 1,2
& 3 resisters, memory address and both memory address plus resister.

Required knowledge: Before doing this experiment anyone should know

What are the different command keys of assembly language.
What are the operations of those keys.
Configuration of MTS-88C system board.
Decimal, Hexa-decimal, Octal conversation of a real number.
How to store a value in register and memory address.

Uses in Practical: If anyone know assembly language operations it will helps to design
Microprocessor and memory of a microcomputer.

Experimental Results

will in registers
Memory address ----- Assembly code ----- result

Discussion of Results
This experiment shows the results of summations which is fully similar to theory calculation and
there is no deviations.

Conclusions
This experiment shows the results of summations of two integer by using resister, memory
address and both memory address plus resister for a single assembly code so anyone can learn
about the operating system of a system board specially how to add register content with resister
content, register content with memory content and memory content with memory content.

Acknowledgments
I would specially like to thank my course instructor Mrs. Tahsin kamal who helped me to
complete this experiment. Then all of my group members who performed the experiment with
me and the lab officer and the lab stuff for helping in the whole procedure.

Appendix A: Emu8086 Overview

Emu8086 combines an advanced source editor, assembler, disassembler, software
emulator (Virtual PC) with debugger, and step by step tutorials. This program is
extremely helpful for those who just begin to study assembly language. It compiles
the source code and executes it on emulator step by step. Visual interface is very
easy to work with. You can watch registers, flags and memory while your program
executes. Arithmetic & Logical Unit (ALU) shows the internal work of the central
processor unit (CPU). Emulator runs programs on a Virtual PC, this completely
blocks your program from accessing real hardware, such as hard-drives and
memory, since your assembly code runs on a virtual machine, this makes
debugging much easier. 8086 machine code is fully compatible with all next
generations of Intel's microprocessors, including Pentium II and Pentium 4, I'm
sure Pentium 5 will support 8086 as well. This makes 8086 code very portable,
since it runs both on ancient and on the modern computer systems. Another

advantage of 8086 instruction set is that it is much smaller, and thus easier to learn.
Emu8086 has a much easier syntax than any of the major assemblers, but will still
generate a program that can be executed on any computer that runs 8086 machine
code; a great combination for beginners! Note: If you don't use Emu8086 to
compile the code, you won't be able to step through your actual source code while
running it.

Where to start?
1. Start Emu8086 by selecting its icon from the start menu, or by running
Emu8086.exe.
2. Select "Samples" from "File" menu.
3. Click [Compile and Emulate] button (or press F5 hot key).
4. Click [Single Step] button (or press F8 hot key), and watch how the code

is being executed.
5. Try opening other samples, all samples are heavily commented, so it's a
great learning tool.
display, and traffic lights intersection. This devices can be modified and cloned, their source code
is available.
You can design and test your own virtual devices programmed in assembly language (or any
other language) with this emulator.
The program opens letting you begin a new project, view some code examples, open the Quick
Start Tutor or opening Recent Files.
After programming your application you can compile it, save the binary file and run it.
