🖥️ Power Quality Analyzer (Assembly 8086)

This project was developed for the course Computer Architecture and Organization I (INF01024 - UFRGS). The program, written in Assembly 8086, simulates an electric power quality analyzer by processing an input file with second-by-second voltage readings and generating a quality report.

See assignmentDefinition.md for more information.

⚙️ Features

• Reads command-line arguments (from PSP):
  • -i <file>: Input file (.in)
  • -o <file>: Output file (.out)
  • -v <value>: Nominal voltage value (127 or 220)
• Validates voltage measurements:
  • Zero voltage (0)
  • Good quality voltage: between 117–137 (for 127V) or 210–230 (for 220V)
• Generates a report including:
  • Total number of seconds analyzed
  • Time with good quality voltage
  • Time with no voltage
• Outputs the report to both screen and output file (.out)

🛠️ Requirements

• DOSBox
• MASM (Microsoft Macro Assembler)

▶️ How to Run

1. Compile the program using MASM:

   masm analyzer.asm;
   link analyzer.obj;
   

2. Run it with desired arguments:

   analyzer.exe -i a.in -o result.out -v 127
   

📌 Notes

• Argument order does not affect execution.
• If the -v parameter is not provided, the default value is 127.
• The program prints error messages and halts if arguments are missing or invalid.
