Experiment 2

HEX to ASCII conversion


Theory:
ASCII table used to display various alpha-numeric symbols on an output device such as printer,
LCD display, RS-232 console … etc.
Since all CPU calculations are done as binary (hex for simplicity) we need to convert the HEX
values to its ASCII code representation

Ex
(1F)H  3146
Since HEX numbers are 0-9 then A-F which gives as two ASCII ranges (30-39 for 0-9,41 to 46
for A-F) we need to compare each value with 10 if it is lower than 10 ASCII is 30 +Value else
ASCII is 41h+ value - Ah or 37+value
In this experiment we convert only numbers from 00-0F .
Example
1
1<10 then ASCII = 30+1= 31

B
B>10 then ASCII = 37+B = 42h
Experiment:
Convert the series of hex numbers in memory 1200 to 120F to ASCII and store the results
in 1300-130F
Flow chart
Start

Set SI = 1200
DI = 1300
Set counter CL=0F

Load [SI] ->


AL

AL < 0A No AL = AL + 07H

yes

AL = AL+ 30H

Store AL ->
[DI]

DCR CL

If CL=0

END
Instruction used in this experiment

1- INC , DEC:
INC REG
DEC REG
INC MEM
DEC MEM
REG could be 8 bit [AL, AH, BL, BH, CL, CH, DL, DH] or 16 bit [AX, BX, CX, DX, SP,
BP, SI, DI]

Mem could addressed as:


a- Direct DEC [1200] ; memory (DS:1200) -- ;
b- Register indirect INC [BX] ; memory (DS:BX) ++;
[BX, BP, SI, DI] could be used.
BX, SI, DI are for data segment DS
BP is for Stack segment SS
c- Others (not used in the LAB)
Those instructions affects the FLAG registers (Zero flag and others)

Compare instruction CMP X, X

Compare two registers, memory, and direct value.


2- Jump instructions conditional jumps depends on compare instruction (CMP) results or
directly check the flag register
Assembly Program

MOV SI, 1200


MOV DI, 1300
MOV CL,10
L1: LODSB
CMP AL, 0A
JB SMALL;
ADD AL, 07H
SMALL:ADD AL, 30H
STOSB
DEC CL
JNZ L1
INT 3

Procedure

1- Connect the Kit to 101 PS/2 Keyboard


2- Press SB 1200 to enter sub byte mode starting from memory 1200 in the data segment
3- Insert the bytes (00,01 …. 0F)
4- Press A followed by Enter
5- Start Address is: 1000
6- Write the program line by line followed by enter
7- Write down the memory locations for correspondent to L1, SMALL lables and JB small
instruction.
8- End the program by INT 3 instead of HLT
9- Press (.) to return to the Main screen
10- Re assemble the program starting from memory location of JB instruction just to correct
the jump location.
11- Write R to read the registers, initially the should be 0000
12- Write GO 1000 followed by Enter. The Program should end with BRK PT (Break point)
13- Write R to read the registers after Executing.
14- Results are from memory 1300 to 130F

Discussion

1- Explain Jump short and Jump long


2- Modify the program so it can convert 8 bit number such as A3 to 16 bit 4133
