Note:
When this instruction reaches the execute phase of the pipeline, two additional instruc-
tion words have entered the pipeline. When the PC discontinuity is taken, these two
instruction words are discarded.
Example
B
191,*+,AR1
The value 191 is loaded into the program counter, and the program continues
to execute from that location. The current auxiliary register is incremented by
1, and ARP is set to point to auxiliary register 1 (AR1).
