A method for diagnosing the operating condition of data processors is described. Such data processors have at least one main memory over which processing units coact in cycles under the control of a program control unit. Control signals are generated in the processing unit for the purpose of executing instruction controlled routines in the control units of the processing units on the basis of the program being used. The control signals are transmitted to the individual registers forming register units in the processing unit for execution of elementary operations. The control signals for the individual elementary operations are recorded with reference to time in a logging device during the operation of the data processor and/or during the operation of a diagnostic routine. The contents of the logging device, so recorded, are then transferred to an area of the main memory in conjunction with the contents of corresponding registers in the register section. |
