Monitor Operating System (MOS) of the Primer can be used to display results of the program at the LEDs in Hex or BCD by using appropriate routine calls from the monitor program. The primer is managed by the 8279 programmable interfacing device such as keyboard or display.

The seven-segment LEDs are connected to use the multiplexed technique. It cannot be directly accessed by writing subroutine services provided by the MOS.

Following points must be kept in mind:

  1. The MOS includes 36 service routines that the user can call by simply loading the service number in register C.
  2. The Primer Manual contains all the above available subroutines available for the user.
  3. For example, to display 96H in the accumulator at the user LED port in Hex byte stored in register E, we need to call service 1BH.

F001   3E   MVI A, 96H
F002   96
F003   5F   MOV E, A
F004   0E   MVI C, 1BH
F005   1B
F006   CD   CALL 1000H
F007   00
F008   10
F009   FF   RST 7 

Following instructions can be modified as follows:
