By means of push-but- tons and rotary switches on the front plate, all diffe- rent functions can be controlled for selection of the computing elements, setting of timers as well as of ope- ration and program modes. Special control circuits are provided for all different operation modes, which need not to be established by patching freely programmable elements, but by depressing a push-hutton only. The control possibilities of the computer can be con- siderably increased when further using a digital adapter unit, permitting a farmost automation of computing and output processes as well as an individual control of integrators and stores. Except the decoding circuits for the selection posi- tion, only digital circuits are used for the control unit. To avoid explanation of technical details within this section (operation and control) the whole functio- nal description is given in the technical manual. The control unit contains three functional groups: 1. Selection 2. Time selection 3. Control To each functional group, push-buttons or rotary swit- ches are assigned whose allocation to the respective functional groups is definitely determined by means of a respective designation on the front plate (see annex}. Additionally, the control unit contains: 4. two push-buttons for central overload indication and random overload stop 5. Zero-instrument for balancing of the operational amplifier by means of two respective push-buttons and balancing potentiometers. The control unit supplies the respective signals for connected output devices and for a possibly connected digital adapter unit. Further explanations to 1.)-5.) are given in the following. The functional groups "Selection" and "Control" can be remotely controlled by digital signals with respective coding. In this case, the push-buttons must not be actuated but indicate the arrival and length of the respective signals when illuminated. a Ie Selection a GS Fe Ih Push-Buttons for Decade Selection of Computing Elements 3=2 Such remote control is possible when using the computer within a hybrid computer system, i.e. when used in com- bination with a digital computer via a hybrid coupling unit or when connecting a punched-tape control unit LSZ 100. All push-buttons of the control unit are normally locked in depressed position and simultaneously illu- minate. The push-buttons within one push-button row thereby release each other. If, however, the remaining push-buttons within a row should remain in their po- sitions, the respective individual push-button can be released by slightly depressing this push-button or another one of the same row. After activation of a push-button function, the respective push-button illu- minates irrespective to a locked position or not (e.g. when used in combination with other push-buttons, au- tomatic run, remote control). They again extinguish, after their function is interrupted by depressing other push-buttons or caused by automatic control. Any exceptions as to the locking and release of push- buttons are mentioned in the respective descriptions. The selection push-button panel is combined within a special panel, designated "selection". The selection also includes the operation of a digital printer. Also connected to the panel is the respective panel for setting the values for servo-set coefficient po- tentiometers. The selection panel contains all push- buttons for decade selection of the computing elements and six control push-buttons provided in the lower left-hand panel field. . The dynamic behavior of the computing element changes . during selection because of the connection of the - Measuring line. The selection panel contains one push-button row with six push-buttons, designated P and V, as well as two rows with ten push-buttons each, designated 0...9. By depressing a push-button, other push-buttons within the same row are released. For single push-button re- lease, a slight touch must be applied. The whole panel serves for selection of a maximum of 600 computing elements of three computer racks (three analog patch panels) with 200 selectable computing elements each. However, the system must be a combination of a master computer equipped with control unit DBG 771 and one or two slave computers without own control unit. Com- puters with own control unit DBG 771 being switched in-parallel do not permit a selection from a second control unit, but in this case must be equipped with an adapter control unit BDZ 801 instead of DBG 771. Of the 200 computing elements that can be selected on each analog patch panel or computer rack, 84 are co- efficient potentiometers, 9 are controllable supply voltages, whereas 100 are other elements, such as operational amplifier, multipliers, function generators and special addresses. The remaining positions are not occupied. se Be Address Indication on Digital Voltmeter Display The two-decade panel consisting of two push-button rows with ten push-buttons each, designated 0...9 per- mit entering of 100 address positions between 00 and 99. Coefficient potentiometers and supply voltages thereby are selected via the push-button "P", whereas for amp- lifiers and other computing elements, push-button "Vv" is used. Three pairs of push-buttons "P" and "V" are available, designated 0, 1, and 2. The push-button pair designated 0 serves for selection of all elements of the computer in which the control unit is arranged. The push-button pairs 1 and 2 are for selection of ele- ments of the slave computer 1 or 2, which are not . equipped with control units. This means, that an address for selection consists of a letter (P or V) and a two-digit number between 00 and 99. The tens position of the address thereby desig- nates one of the ten fields of the APF, designated 0 to 9, whereas the unit position of the address defines the output of the computing element or a special con- nection within this field. The unit position always corresponds to the jack designation of the field. Since equal computing elements also have equal unit addresses (exceptions possible only with center fields 2 and 7), the addressing system is easy to learn. Part of the selection is the digital voltmeter display. After entering an address, it appears in the address field of the digital voltmeter. Thereby, a few modifi- cations are possible. E.g. the address is indicated with three digits, containing the leading computer number 0, 1, or 2 according to the computer address (or APF- address) for which the push-buttons "P" or "V" were used. The computer further contains a real feedback for the selected computing elements, which is based on a letter designation. If, for example, no computing element is available under the selected address (e.g. with partial- ly equipped computers) the indication of a leading letter in the address field of the digital voltmeter does not take place. In all other cases, a letter appears on first position before the three-digit add- ress, according to the following table: Depressed Code Selected Address letter letter computing tens units push-button element position position P P Coefficient 9 =- 9 0 - 7.9 potentiometer (without 2 and 7) 2, 7 P K Supply voltages 0 - 8 8 V I Integrator, complementary integrator, store, comp- lementary store, open amplifier 0-9 0,1,2, V Ss Summer, open amplifier 0-9 0-5 Vv s Inverter of 207 7 electronic resolver Vv M Modulation 0-9 multiplier (without 2 and 7,8 7) Vv F Variable function 0-9 9 generator as (without 2 s inverter and 7) Vv Z Selectable 0,2,4 jacks on 5,7,9 6 APF on DPF 7 9 For example, the selection of V (0)11 causes an address feedback 1011 or S011, depending on the respective operational amplifier being programmed as integrator or summer. An exception is given with the servo potentiometers, (units position Op p2eDe0r7) « In this case, the feedback "P" is not provided by each single potentiometer, but by the respective potentiometer unit comprising 9 or 10 potentiometers each. Bs Vedic Control Push-Buttons for Selection Six push-buttons in the lower left-hand panel field are provided for special tasks in combination with auto- matic selection or output of output values of selected computing elements via a connected digital printer. The push-buttons are explained in the sequence of the coupled functions: a) b) Push-button "Hand" (manual) This push-button must be actuated prior to all selec- tion of addresses which are to be entered manually. Push-button "Aut." (automatic) The selection system contains an automatic selection during which a block of succeeding addresses is scanned subsequently. The block length is 100 posi- tions maximum. As start address, any address can be taken. For operation of the autmatic selection sy- stem, the following must be observed: Depress push-button "Hand"(manual) and subsequently enter the start address between 00 and 99 via the selection panel. Depress push-button "Aut." and wait unitl illumina- tion of the push-button lamp after arrival of the first selection clock. After one second, the automa- tic address scanning is started. It is continued within a 0.5 Hz-clock. On the digital voltmeter dis- play, any two seconds the complete address designa- tions of the computing elements subsequently appear together with the output values being indicated for visual observation. If a digital voltmeter dis- play is also to be print-out, refer to the respec- tive explanations given under push-button "Print-on". If no final block address is pregiven, the automatic system continuously scans the addresses until rea- ching position 99, then returns to the start address and remains there.This address scanning is also in- dicated via the subsequently illuminated address push-buttons. The push-button "Aut." again extin- guishes after termination of the scanning, and the lamp of the push-button "Hand" (manual) again illu- minates. If after depressing of push-button "Aut." and auto- matic start any final address with higher number is entered, the automatic system interrupts the se- lection after reaching this address. See also the notes under point 2. Also in case of automatic selection, the respective- ly selected address is indicated by illumination of the respective push-buttons. . The automatic selection can be stopped at any time by depressing the push-button "Hand" (manual), cau- sing the selection to go over to the entered add- ress. 3=5 6. CG) d) The automatic selection can also be interrupted by depressing the push-button "Stop". In this case, push-button "Aut." remains illuminated. After de- pressing the"Stop"-push-button, which also illumi- nates, the digital voltmeter is operated periodical- ly. When again depressing the push-button "Aut.", the automatic selection continues from the stopped position to the entered final address or until 99, with return to the start address or to address 00, if no push-button was depressed. Further notes see point 2. Push-button "Stop" See also push-button "Aut." point 6. The "Stop"- push-button cannot be released by depressing the push-button "Hand"(manual) which causes the selec- tion to go over to the respective address being en- tered. Push-button "Print-on" (printer on) For print-out of addresses and measuring values being indicated on the digital voltmeter, a digi- tal printer can be connected to the computer. When depressing the push-button "Print-on", a print instruction is supplied to the digital voltmeter together with a certain measuring instruction, which become effective. At the following time points: 1. During operation of the automatic selection (push-button "Aut."depressed). Each automatically scanned address is print-out by indicating the complete address feedback and value. The scanning clock thereby increases from 0.5 Hz to 2 Hz, so that scanning, indication and print-out of an address position takes place within a 0.5 s- period. If no address feedback takes place, i.e. element not available within the system, the po- sition will not be print-out.The manually entered start address also is not print-out at the start, but after termination of the scanning se- quence, after repeated return to the start add- ress. E.g. in case of 100 positions, print-out of start address 00 takes place after reaching position 99. When entering a final address, no return to the start address will take place, and thus also a print-out will not occur. A desired print-out must then be initiated by shifting the start address by one position. Print-out of start add- ress 00 with subsequent entering of a final add- ress is not possible during automatic mode, and must be individually carried out by depressing the push-button Print-instr‘or via the digital adapter unit. 2. During program modes "Repetitive computing" and "Automatic iterating computing". Print-out takes place at the end of the preset computing time. Print-out of address and address value thereby takes place within the phase Hold, (which must be given for at least 100 ms) follo- wing to the phase computing. 332% Timers Seow tie Programs of the Digital Control Unit e) £) 3. Automatically after each terminated setting of a servo-set coefficient potentiometer. Setting of the potentiometer value takes place via the setting panel, whereby the setting pro- cess is initiated by depressing the respective push-button "POT" located beside. Then the respective potentiometer address and the value reached by the servo-set potentiometer is indicated on the digital voltmeter and print- out via the printer (not however, the entered potentiometer value). Push-button "Druckbef." (print instruction) By means of this push-button, print-instructions can be given at any time. In such a case, the re- spective address being indicated on the digital volt- meter is print-out together with the address value, if the push-button "Print-on" previously was actuated. The push-button "Druckbef."(print-instruction) is not locking and therefore must be again actuated for each print-out. A parallel print-instruction is possible from the digital adapter unit. Push-button “Extern" After depressing this push-button, all other push- buttons of the selection panel become ineffective, which also applies for the setting panel of the servo potentiometers. Simultaneously, a switch-over takes place to exter- nal address input by using digital signals, which can be connected via a jack provided on the rear side of the control unit. Input of servo potentio- meter setting values is possible via a central setting line (e.g. from a hybrid coupling unit). By depressing the push-buttons "Hand" (manual) or "Aut." (automatic), the effect of the push-button "Extern" can be cancelled. Normally, the push-but- ton "Extern" is used within hybrid computer systems or when using a punched-tape control unit. The digital control unit contains fixed-wired programs for control of integrators or stores. A detailed des- cription is given in section 3.3. In the following, a general survey is given. On the front panel of the digital control unit, there are two vertical push-button rows arranged within a field, designated "Control". The following programs can be set via the left-hand row: Program Push-button Continuous Dauer Computation with Hold mit Halt Repetitive computation Repet. Autmatic iterative computation It.aut. Manual iterative computation It.Hand The following operation modes can be entered via the right-hand push-button row: Operation mode Push-button Pause Compute Hold Continue Pause Rechnen Halt Weiter After depressing the push-button "Compute", the selec- ted program is started, beginning with a 1/0-edge of the basic clock. Thereby, a delay time 3.2.1/1) is given due to 0.5 and 2 seconds (see Fig. relay switching times. t, between Push-button Push-button Push-button ‘ te ‘ Hold” or “Pause” Compute “Pause” depre: sao depressed ssed depre —s At Program run —a Machine time Fig. t 3.2.1/1 Program start and program end A program is characterized by a certain phase se- quence.

During a phase,the control sig- nals of the active control lines (e.g. r, h, r, h, 2G1) have a constant value of binary 1 or binary 0. The phase endurance is set on the digital control unit in the respective field designated with"time selection". The upper field half thereby is used for the phases of group a), with phase endurance T,1, This Ti) or Tp T., T,- The lower field half is provided for” the a pRase of group b) with the phase endurance Tp2, Tp?r Ty20 respectively. In the following, the programs of the digital control unit are outlined: 1) Program "Continuous computation" The program starts with the Pause-phase, followed by a computing phase, which is unlimitted by the program and thus is not depending on the setting of the timers. 2) Program “Compute with Hold" Program run: Phase Pause, phase Compute, phase Hold. The Hold-phase is independent from the timer setting. It can be terminated by depressing the push-button "Continue". Then, phase Compute and phase Hold are following. 3) Program "Repetitive computation” The program consists of a sequence of same cycles. Each cycle contains three phases in the following time sequence: Pause, Compute, Hold. 4) Programs "Automatic iterative computation" and "Manual interative computation". These programs consist of an alternative sequence of two cycles which are controlled by a normal and complementary computing circuit. a) Normal computing circuit normal partial cycle Pause phase Z 1 normal partial cycle Pause phase Z 1 b) Complementary computing circuit Pause phase Z 2 complementary partial cycle Pause phase Z 2 complementary partial cycle Machine time t* In their timely sequence, the cycles are composed of following phases: a) normal partial cycle phase Pause 1, phase Compute 1, phase Hold 1 b) complementary partial cycle phase Pause 2, phase Compute 2, phase Hold 2 Whereas one computing circuit performs a cycle, the other has a Pause-phase, which is abbreviated Z 1 or Z 2. The normal partial cycle is identical to the cycle of the program "Repetitive computation", since an in- tegrator with certain wiring of its control inputs performs the same computing operations during a cycle of program "Repet." and during a normal partial cycle of program "It.aut." ig—_———._ 1st cycle > 2nd cycle Kt—15t iteration clock—p}¢- 279 it pg 3rd iteration clock shld clock clock Push-button Tp2-o| je Tp2 “Pause” At Th - @—T 2 depressed —e » i ‘all 42 eT oe —T 1 eT 2) eT ,1 Py Pe — Basic clocks } «17 e ont CUPL Put ot2 ut OU UU Control lines 17 of APF o i) 1 f 0 1 h i) " — a 1 ty) Operation conditions of »g J H 4 71 — i 74 integrators / P=A cal — ~ WR 4 complementary» | H 4 22 integrators J P=A F 4 A H 4 stores A 3 4 8 complementary H 4 stores A t . a Pp tee os 1+ .

Practically, this ratio can be set only in powers of tens. Fig. 3.20172 Time diagram of active control lines of DGB 771 and of digital adapter unit DZ 772 for program "It.aut." Se wiees Setting of Timers All clocks for computer programs as well as for control of the digital elements in the digital adapter unit are centrally generated in the control unit. All freely selectable clocks thereby can be set by means of ten rotary switches provided on the front plate. All different clocks are derived from the 100 kHz ba- sic clock of a central crystal oscillator. Two basic clocks GT1 and GT2 are generated by means of a 5-stage frequency divider which permits independent clock set- ting to 1 kHz, 100 Hz, 10 Hz and 1 Hz. Accordingly, the designation of the two rotary switches for basic clock 1 and 2 are 1 ms, 10 ms, 100 ms and 1 s. Be- cause of the operating condition "10x faster",which for example can be set by depressing the push-button "10x", an additional basic clock of 0.1 ms = 10 kHz is reached in switch position "1Ims". Each of the basic clocks thereby influences three digital timers, (see Fig. 3.2.2.).The timers 1,2 or 4,5 can be preset bet- ween 1 and 100 by means of two rotary switches, where- as timers 3 and 6 are fixed to 1. The timers are con- trolled by the preset basic clock in a fixed sequence, by counting reverse from the preset position. After reaching Zero-position, they supply the different sig- nals for control of computing elements via central control lines. The settable time results from a multiplication of the timer setting by the setting of the respective basic clock. The respective computing condition of the sy- stem is indicated via three lamps provided in the upper and lower half of the time selection panel: Yellow lamp on: Pause phase 1 or 2 effective or push-button"Pause"depressed Green lamp on: Computing phase 1 or 2 effective Red lamp on: Hold phase 1 or 2 effective or push-button "Hold" depressed or Hold-control operative. By depressing the push-button "10x" in the manual poten- tiometer field, the basic clocks GT1 and GT2 are re- duced by the factor 10 (e.g. from 1 ms to 100 us). Thus, the times of all timers are also shortened by factor 10. Together with time shortening, the integration factors of the integrators are enlarged by factor 10 because of the integrator capacitor switch-over (e.g from Ky = 100 s-1 to k, = 1000 s~1). This means, that a fast- time scale by factor 10 is reached after depressing the push-button "10x", or a slow-time scale by factor 10, after the depressed push-button "10x" is again released.

Clock generation and timer control The operation mode "10xfaster" can be controlled also by the DPF, see also 3.4.3. Example: Setting of the Pause-phase endurance For example, Pause-phase 1 is given as to the operation in the "time selection"-field, whereby the black desig- mation of the field is valid. The settings of both rotary switches for timer 1 result in factor F, (see Fig. 3.2.2) according to the black designation. The factor being within 1 and 100 must be multiplied by the setting of the rotary switch for basic clock 1. The phase endurance is resulting, if the computer is not operated "10xfaster". In this condition, the phase length is smaller by the factor 0.1 than the read value. Setting of phases between 0.1 ms and 100 s with two digits is possible. The time setting for other phases takes place accor- dingly, except the phases Hold 1 and Hold 2, which are identical to the times of basic clock 1 and basic clock ae Phase Time period settable by means of Pause 1 Timer 1 two digit Pause 2 Timer 4 two digit Compute 1 Timer 2 two digit Timer 2 and 1 four digit Compute 2 Timer 5 two digit Hold 1 Basic clock 1 one digit Hold 2 Basic clock 2 one digit The white designation of the time selection panel refers to the four-digit setting of phase Compute 1, whereas the black designation is used for all other phases. Four-digit setting of computing phase length The four-digit setting is limitted to the program types "Repetitive computation" and "Compute with hold". The rotary switches of timer 1 which otherwise are used for setting of the time period T,1 are used also for setting the computing phase. The white designation becomes valid, the rotary switch for basic clock 1 must be set to 10 ms or to 1 ms. With regard to the white designation, the setting of timers 2 and 1 results in factors by sum formation, which are between 1 and 10 000. ee Ie Control Elements on Digital Control Unit This factor must be multiplied by the setting of the rotary switch for basic clock 1. If not set to opera- tion mode "10xfaster", the computing time is resulting. Computing phase lengths between 0.1 ms and 100 s are possible. The Pause-phase length cannot be set, it is determined to 1 s. The time period of the Hold-phase amounts to approx. 1 s. For four-digit setting of the computing phase period, the time sweep generator (jacks Z on APF) is switched- off. The control panel for setting of operation modes, com- puting programs and test operations is combined in a push-button panel designated "Steuerung" (control). The two push-button rows thereby are allocated as fol- lows: The left-hand push-button row contains all functions for program selection. The push-buttons, however, do not initiate active processes but are used only for respective preparation. The push-buttons of the right- hand push-button row are used for active functions (operation modes) which partially must be prepared by actuating respective push-buttons of the left-hand row. This arrangement provides a better information about the operating conditions of the computer and furthermore enables a more flexible remote control of the modes. The latter is especially important when using the computer within a hybrid computer system, in which a digital computer supplies coded instructions for selection of the computing program and for dif- ferent settings within the programs to the control unit via direct control lines. All push-buttons illuminate when depressed, and also if not depressed but if the respective program or operation mode is activated by remote control. The colors of the push-buttons are allocated as follows: green push-buttons left-hand: presetting of computing programs, right-hand: compute start, continue instruction yellow push-buttons left-hand: external program control right-hand: operation modes Pause and potentiometer setting red push-buttons operation mode Hold white push-buttons left-hand: setting for self and external control right-hand: setting for balancing and testing LLL yaad 3fuUN ToazaqUOD [eITbTp FO Taued TorRzUOD |YyR Fo suoTjoUNT ‘*¢*e “STA ‘jeued indul-anjea pasisap ay2 UO ,, 1Od,, YOIING-ysnd eur Buissaisdap 19a}ye AjuO pajsejs SI $19} 901} Ua}Od 1aS-OAIeS AYR 40) ssed0id Buljlas ayy “Bulies 49] WON US}Od 105 Ja}NdWOD Bojeue ay) jo UOIjeJedaid [Os]UO0D sjIWJad uoing-ysnd siyy (1 C voHonsysul anuljuos JBLIOMK - —— {04,U09 jeUsal xy Pplwai4 {e) Ploy yey : ' j JO1,U09-}jas WesbOoig uabig 8 o = 4 (suoiing-ysnd : PUL} j,, 10 ,, 7NE),, 40 ,, yedey,, . cd uonseajes weiBold ein peiedesd uaUuyseaY sweshosd 10} Ajuo papuawwooes 46014 = SwesGoid 40 11e}s 81) UOJeEINdWOD ‘ {O43U09 WesGoid jeuiayx3 & 7 L (Gurjas anjea jeniul) = esneg asneg > ow ; VOHEINGWOD sAIeJe}! jenueyy pueH ‘3 Gurnsey siweudg "uAp UOeINdWOS aAIje49}!

The same applies for operation mode "dynamic testing" of the integrators. (Push-button "dyn."). Prior to the following description of the push-button functions of the "Control#“panel, it is necessary to point-out to the different functional behavior bet- ween the operation condition of the computer with the different modes"Pause", "Compute", "Hold", according to the depressed mode push-buttons and the computing run in the computer, which in the compute mode consists of the subsequent following phases "Pause", "Compute", "Hold" or variations thereof. Push-button "Pause" (operation mode "Pause") By depressing the yellow push-button "Pause", all pre- viously started computing runs being either in the phases "Pause", "Compute" or "Hold" (push-buttons "Com- pute" or "Continue") or in operation mode "Hold" (push- button “Hold" depressed), are terminated and replaced by the "Pause"-mode. All cther push-buttons of the same row are released and thus also other operation modes are replaced by "Pause"-mode. In this mode, all inte- grators and stores carry out the initial condition programmed on the APF (charging of computing or storing capacitors to initial value). In the "Pause"-phase, only the integrators take-over the initial conditions. During operation mode "Pause", programming is effected on the analog patch panel, whereas program selection takes place on the left-hand push-button row of the control field. When switching-on the computer by means of the push-button "On", the push-button "Pause" also should be depressed. Push-button "Compute" (operation mode "Computation" By depressing the gree push-button "Compute", all compu- ting runs are started whose program previously was pre- pared by means of the green program selection push- buttons of the left-hand push-button row. When depres- sing the push-button "Compute", the previously set modes "Pause" or "Hold" are replaced and the respective push- buttons are released. All computing runs are started after depressing the push-button "Compute" with a Pause-phase T_, whose period was fixed by means of the rotary switch setting in the "time selection"-field (timer 1 and basic clock 1 or timer 4 and basic clock 2). The length of the de- sired computing phase Ty is preset by a respective rotary switch setting “~ of timer 2 and basic clock 1 or timer 5 and basic clock 2, respectively. The "Com- pute"-mode is terminated by the "Pause"-mode (take-over of new initial conditions for integrators and stores, patched on the APF). This takes place by depressing the push-button "Pause". The "Compute"-mode is interrupted by different control instructions and replaced by the mode "Hold" (integra- tors maintain the momentarily given output voltages, as stated in the following section under 1 to 5). Push-button "Hold" (operation mode "Hold") By depressing the red push-button "Hold", all computing runs during the "Compute"-phase are interrupted and go to operating condition "Hold". The integrators and stores thereby maintain the respective momentary output voltage. If during actuation of the "Hold"-push-button, a computing run is in the phases "Pause" or "Hold", these phases will follow. A repeated start of the com- puting run is then possible only by releasing the push- button "Hold" via the push-button "Compute"or "Pause" and subsequent actuation of the "Compute"-push-button. The following possibilities are given to interrupt the "Compute"-mode and to replace it by the mode "Hold" or phase "Hold": 1. By depressing the push-button "Hold" 2. By patching relay ground to the white jack H with green diagonal in field 2 or 7 on the APF. 3. By connecting binary "0" to jack II on the digital patch panel of the digital adapter unit. 4. By means of an overload of a computing element, if the white push-button "with Hold" located beside the red push-button "UU" on the left-hand front panel was actuated, (white push-button illuminates). 5. After the preset time T if the programs "with entered. of the "Compute”-phase, - Hold" or "It.Hand" were The following possibilities are given to again clear the "Hold"-operation mode: 1. By depressing the push-button "Compute" precondi- tion is however, that the push-button "Hold" was depressed during the "Compute"-phase. a) b) Program type "Continuous computing" (push-button "Continuous"). Computation is started from the mo- mentary values. From this time on, a time sweep voltage is used. Further program types (push-buttons "with Hold", “Repet.","It.aut.", "It.Hand"): Computation starts with the momentarily reached values. According to the setting of GT1 or GT2, up to 2 x basic clock time is loss for the preset computing time T,1 or T.2. A time sweep voltage is started at the reached values, but because of the missing computing time (which is not considered by the saw tooth generator) does no longer reach value 1 (+ 10 V) at the end of the "Compute"-phase. To prevent this error, a respective computing time setting should be used for the program "with Hold", to replace the depression of push-button "Hold", e.g. for observing intermediate values. A repeated computation start then takes place by means of the push-button "Continue", . By depressing the push-button "Pause". By depressing the push-button "Continue". Only in combination with the programs "with Hold" or "It.Hand", during which the "Hold"-phase is auto- matically reached after a preset time TR: The com- puting run is then continued with the phase com- pute, (based on the momentarily reached values) or with the phase "Pause". If previously the "Hold"- push-button was depressed, the limitation under 1b must be observed (can be avoided by basic clock synchronous holding and starting via the DPF). By removing the relay ground on the APF from the white jack H with gree diagonal in fields 2 and 7. Then a computing run interrupted in the "Compute"- phase is continued with phase "Compute" without intermediate "Pause"-phase. Limitations are given as mentioned under 1b (see push-button "Compute", see also 3.). By removing the binary "0" from the red jack H on the DPF of the digital adapter unit. Then a compu- ting run interrupted in the "“Compute"-phase is continued with phase "Compute" without intermediate "Pause"-pahse. Limitations are given as mentioned under 1 b (see push-button “Compute",see also 3.). . After "Hold" caused by overload of a computing element. a) By depressing the push-button "Pause" and removal of the overload. Repeated start is then possible by depressing the push-button "Compute". b) By releasing the large white push-button “with Hold" at the left-hand side of the control unit. i a ae Push-Buttons for Program Selection: "Dauer" (co
