Relaxation
The process of converting an instruction to an identical, but smaller instruction. This is 
useful for saving on code size. MPLAB ASM30 currently knows how to RELAX a CALL 
instruction into an RCALL instruction. This is done when the symbol that is being called 
is within +/- 32k instruction words from the current instruction.
Relocatable
An object whose address has not been assigned to a fixed location in memory.
Relocatable Section
16-bit assembler – A section whose address is not fixed (absolute). The linker assigns 
addresses to relocatable sections through a process called relocation.
Relocation
A process performed by the linker in which absolute addresses are assigned to relo-
catable sections and all symbols in the relocatable sections are updated to their new 
addresses.
ROM
Read Only Memory (Program Memory). Memory that cannot be modified.
Run
The command that releases the emulator from halt, allowing it to run the application 
code and change or respond to I/O in real time.
Run-time Model
Describes the use of target architecture resources.
Runtime Watch
A Watch window where the variables change in as the application is run. See individual 
tool documentation to determine how to set up a runtime watch. Not all tools support 
runtime watches.
S
Scenario
For MPLAB SIM simulator, a particular setup for stimulus control.
Section
The GCC equivalent of an OCG psect. A block of code or data which is treated as a 
whole by the linker.
Section Attribute
A GCC characteristic ascribed to a section (e.g., an access section).
Sequenced Breakpoints
Breakpoints that occur in a sequence. Sequence execution of breakpoints is 
bottom-up; the last breakpoint in the sequence occurs first.
Serialized Quick Turn Programming
Serialization allows you to program a serial number into each microcontroller device 
that the Device Programmer programs. This number can be used as an entry code, 
password or ID number.
Shell
The MPASM assembler shell is a prompted input interface to the macro assembler. 
There are two MPASM assembler shells: one for the DOS version and one for the 
Windows version.
