Abstract:
A method for carrying out at least one function (Function1, Function2, Function3, Function4) assigned to an instruction code (opcode 1-6) whereby said instruction code (opcode 1-6) is read out from a stored instruction code sequence characterized in that by use of a first table (23) which for a set of possible instruction codes (opc 1-6) contains an identifier (Fn1, Fn2, Fn3, Fn4) for each respective function (Function1, Function2, Function3, Function4), said function (Function1, Function2, Function3, Function4) for said instruction code (opcode 1-6) is identified and that by use of a second table (24) which for said set of possible instruction codes (opc 1-6) contains at least one respective function parameter (P1, P2, P3) each comprising at least one parameter for executing said respective function of said instruction code, the at least one function parameter (P1, P2, P3) for said instruction code (opcode 1-6) is identified, such that from a set of available functions (Function1, Function2, Function3, Function4) said function (Function1, Function2, Function3, Function4) with said identified parameter (P1, P2, P3) is selected and carried out.
