This document describes the Random DCA Test program (MAINDEC-8E-D0GC-D) designed for the PDP-8/E. The diagnostic verifies the correct execution of the Deposit and Clear Accumulator (DCA) instruction by testing various random memory addresses, operand addresses, and operand values generated during program execution. It includes instructions for loading, starting, interpreting error printouts, and performing scope mode loops for troubleshooting.
