Basic Stamp Instruction Speeds

JSalwitz

I am looking for the specifications on specific instruction·timing for the BSP24.

For example, how long (cycles, ms...) does the following code take to execute:

• multiplies (a * b)
• divides (a / b)
• bit operations
• byte operations
• shifts
• boolean arithmatic
• GOSUB
• RETURN
• BRANCH...

Ideally, I would love a "cheat sheet" on the entire pbasic instruction set. Obviously, I am looking to make my application run as fast as possible and am looking for reference.

Also, is there documentation on the "native code" that is created and downloaded and executed?

Thanks

Hello,

·· Tracy Allen's website www.emesystems.com has some information on BASIC Stamp execution speed.
