`

`installation date
`
`instruction decode and control
`
`installation date: The date new equipment is ready for
`use. The commencement of rental norma lly begins on
`the day following the date on which the contractor
`officially notifies the using organization that the equip(cid:173)
`ment is installed and ready for use, subject to the ac(cid:173)
`ceptance and standard of performance provisions of
`the applicable contract.
`
`In an effort to reduce job
`installation processing control:
`turnaround time and to minimize time wasted in setup,
`the scheduling of applications and jobs is automated .
`
`instantaneous data transfer rate: See data transfer rate.
`
`instantaneous print speed: The maximum rate at which
`characters can be printed as opposed to throughput.
`This does not include the time needed to perform
`tabs, line feeds, and carriage return . Instantaneous
`print speed is measured in characters per second (cps).
`
`instruction, blank: See instruction, dummy.
`
`instruction, branch: See branch instruction.
`
`If the arithmetic accumulator
`instruction, branch-on-zero:
`is zero, the computer operation will then proceed to an
`alternate location.
`
`instruction, breakpoint: 1. An instruction which will cause
`a computer to stop or to transfer control in some stan(cid:173)
`dard fashion to a supervisory routine which can monitor
`the progress of the interrupted program . 2. An instruc(cid:173)
`tion which, if some specified switch is set, will cause
`the computer to stop or take other special action.
`
`instruction byte: Some systems offer byte instructions that
`load er store any byte in memory or swap bytes in a
`register and are valuable in data communications or
`data processing.
`
`instantaneous storage: Storage, usually in several loca(cid:173)
`tions, with an access time which is slight in comparison
`with operation time.
`
`instruction character: See character, command.
`
`instruction, character ignore: Same as ignore.
`
`instantaneous transfer rate: See data transfer rate.
`
`instruction check: See check, forbidden-combination.
`
`instants, significant (of a modulation or a restitution):
`Instants limiting significant intervals of modulation or
`restitution.
`
`instruction: 1. A coded program step that tells the com(cid:173)
`puter what to do for a single operation in a program.
`2. A set of characters, together with one or more
`addresses (or no address), that defines an operation
`and which, as a unit, causes the computer to operate
`accordingly on the indicated quantities. 3. A set of
`.identifying characters designed to cause a computer to
`perform certain operations. A machine instruction to
`specific functions.
`
`instruction, absolute: A particular computer instruction
`which specifies completely a specific computer opera(cid:173)
`tion and is capable of causing the execution of that
`operation.
`
`instruction, actual: Same as instruction, effective.
`
`instruction address: See address, instruction.
`
`instruction, address, functional: See address instruction,
`functional.
`
`instruction address register: Contains address of next in(cid:173)
`struction to be executed.
`
`instruction, alphanumeric: The name given to instructions
`that can be used equally well with alphabetic or nu(cid:173)
`meric kinds of fields of data.
`
`instruction area: 1. A part of storage allocated to receive
`and store the group of instructions to be executed . 2.
`The storage locations used to store the program.
`
`instruction, arithmetic: See arithmetic instruction.
`
`instruction, check-indicator: See check-indicator instruc(cid:173)
`tion.
`
`instruction code: The list of symbols, names and defini(cid:173)
`tions of the instructions that are intelligible to a given
`computer or computing system .
`
`instruction codes, mnemonic: See codes, mnemonic op(cid:173)
`eration .
`
`instruction complement: A built-in feature designed to
`provide a number of instructions for each programmer
`instruction.
`
`instruction, computer: Same as machine instruction.
`
`instruction, conditional breakpoint: A conditional jump
`instruction which, if some specified switch is set or sit(cid:173)
`uation exists, will cause the computer to stop, after
`which either the routine may be continued as coded,
`or a jump may be forced.
`
`instruction, conditional jump: Same as branch, condi(cid:173)
`tional.
`
`instruction, constant: See constant instruction.
`
`instruction counter: Refers to a multiple-bit register that
`keeps track of the address of the current instruction
`and is used as the input to the memory address register
`(MAR) .
`
`instruction, decision: See branch.
`
`instruction decode and control: On low-cost systems, this
`operation decodes the instruction and provides all con(cid:173)
`trol and gating functions required for execution of the
`specified operation .
`
