The '''Tektronix 8540''' is a member of the [[8000 MDL Series]] microprocessor development system [[introduced in 1982]].
The '''Tektronix 8540 Integration Unit''' is a member of the [[8000 MDL Series]] microprocessor development system [[introduced in 1982]].


The 8540 Integration Unit extends a host computer microcomputer development support to include the task of hardware/software integration. While the [[8560]] or other host computer supports the software development task, the 8540 is used to integrate, test and debug the prototype hardware. The 8540 uses Real-Time microprocessor emulation, a fast and efficient integration technique that uses an emulator processor identical in function to the one targeted for the prototype. For added real-time debugging, a 62-channel Trigger Trace Analyzer is available as an option.

In the host computer environment, a general purpose computer is used to support microcomputer-based design projects for a number of designers at CRT terminals like the [[CT8500]]. Each terminal has access to microcomputer development tools such as editors, assemblers, and compilers.
