Abstract
A data processor system is capable of operating in a first mode comprising a computer mode so as to carry out data processing functions and is also capable of operating in a second mode comprising a sequencer mode so as to carry out high speed sequence operations on the basis of programmed sequences. A high speed change between the computer and sequencer modes can freely be effected by executing mode change instructions so that the data processor system performs the duplex functions of a computer and a sequencer.
