1. Function and Purpose of the DEX
The digital extension DEX is a component of the hybrid computing system.
Freely programmable digital elements enable any desired combination of analog and digital computing programs.
Direct input lines for controlling integrators and analog switches on one side, as well as the output signals of comparators of the analog section directly usable in the digital program on the other side, form the connection points to analog computing elements. Via digital output and input lines, the connection to the computing registers of the digital computer is established.
From the DEX it is also possible to influence the program sequence of the AR (analog computer) and DR (digital computer), as well as to control the data transfer between AR and DR and from AR to external devices.
For synchronization of analog and digital programs, the clock outputs and status feedbacks of the AR program control, the output of the clock in the interface, and fixed clocks are available.

3. Technical Overview
3.1 Mechanical Construction
The digital extension consists of a double-slide-in unit in one housing. Via the console-type receptacle, one of the interchangeable digital programming fields is accessible from the front of the computer (Magazine 1) — a magazine accommodating up to 24 plug-in positions for digital elements (Illustration 1).
Magazine 1 can be closed off with a Plexiglas cover. On every magazine position all offered plug-in unit types are usable interchangeably. The 24 card positions correspond with 24 addressing fields on the digital programming field, with one easily recognizable marking on the front face of the plug-in unit indicating what significance its inputs and outputs have in the particular case.
The double slide-in unit contains:
- 1 Magazine 1 with 24 plug-in positions for plug-in units with digital elements and the following plug-in units:
- 1 Plug-in unit H-ZM 1: display of the step-switch position
- 1 Plug-in unit H-KL 1: display of the outputs of the comparator amplifiers
For the 24 freely available plug-in positions for plug-in units with digital elements, the following plug-in units are available:
| Type | Designation | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| H-NA 2 | NAND 2 | 8 NAND gates with 2 inputs each |
| H-NA 4 | NAND 4 | 4 NAND gates with 4 inputs each |
| H-NR 2 | NOR 2 | 8 NOR gates with 2 inputs each |
(Page 7 — continuation of technical data table)
| Type | Designation | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| H-NR 4 | NOR 4 | 4 NOR gates with 4 inputs each |
| H-IV | INV | 16 inverters with one input and one output each |
| H-GS | — | 4 flipflops with 2 inputs each |
| H-ZL | Z | 4-bit counter with 1-of-16 decoding output |
Allocation plan for Magazine 1 (Belegungsplan für Magazin 1):
Slots 00 through 23 are available for the various digital element plug-in units. Slots 00–23 are shown with their addressing from 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05 … 20, 21, 22, 23, spanning across the address fields DK (rows).
(Diagram showing the slot allocation grid for Magazine 1 is present on this page.)

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Notes on Handling the Digital Elements
- The plug-in units for Magazine 1 (DPF — Digital Programming Field) are removed from the housing for programming purposes.
- Single elements of the lower row of the plug-in unit can be removed from the plug-in unit by hand and reinserted following the patching step-by-step.
- After removing the lower element, insert the next element from the magazine into the lower position until it engages.
- After finishing the patching, reinsert the Plexiglas cover.
4.2 Description of the Digital Programming Field (DPF)
On the left side of the DPF, the addresses are noted from 0 (FW — Digitalelemente) to 23 (last address). The Steckeinheiten (plug-in units) address indicates at its right (DK — number) which block it belongs to.
4.3 Controls and Operating Elements
a. Rotary switch and step switch (Drehschalter)
The rotary switch on the front face of the module is actuated from the DPF operating element side. It has a drive-selector function with various tabs/notches. In the operating position, when the mark on the switch is horizontal, a connection on the DPF is established between the respective middle and the above-it and below-it, connected-by-horizontal-mark bus. The printed marking on the selected bus identifies the upper and sets up a connection between the upper and lower middle bus. In this state the switch can be arrested in left or right rotation. The mark on the switch is then vertical.
b. Function switches (Drucktastenumschalter — push-button selector switches)
10 vertically arranged function selector switches with addressing D1 … D10, with a connection field on the DPF. In the normal position, when the mark on the key is horizontal, a connection on the DPF exists between the respective middle and the above and below it, indicated by a horizontal line bus. The printed marking on the key identifies the upper and establishes a connection between the upper and lower middle bus. In this state the key can be arrested in left- or right-rotation. The mark on the key is then vertical.
(A diagram of the Drucktastenschalter with labels 1–10, and Drehschalter marked “+12V” and “SYM” is shown.)
c. Operating-mode keys (Betriebsartentasten)
The two keys Run and Stop act on the yellow bus row (21/1–52). Key Run places a selected text (21/1–52) on the DPF bus row. Key Stop interrupts it. With key Stop depressed, the bus row can be freely interconnected as a multipoint bus, e.g. for input of external clocks.
Key LO resets the flipflops of the plug-in units of type FF in Magazine 1 of the digital extension. The shift registers and counters are not reset by this.
Key HT is intended for manual operation (Handtakt). If the rotary switch is also on HT, every actuation applies one clock pulse to the bus row Takt.

Page 54 — Section 7.6: Flip-Flop (Flipflop)
7.6 Flip-Flop (Flipflop)
The flip-flop circuit contains one flip-flop and associated gating (Torschaltung) for each comparator output. The description of the inputs is as follows (see also Section 7.5–13):
- S = Set (statically pre-settable / statisch voreinstellbar)
- R = Reset (statically resettable / statisch rückstellbar)
- T = Trigger (clock input / Takteingang)
- T = Complementary trigger / Negierter Takt (dynamically settable / dynamisch einstellbar)
In the normal operating mode, the output of the flip-flop drives input A of the next flip-flop. If input S and input R are both at 0, then both outputs of the flip-flop are equal, and there is no valid flip-flop state (ambiguous condition).
If S = 0 and R = 0, both outputs of the flip-flop light up (Binäranzeige / binary indicator lamps, Bild 1).
If S = 1 and R = 0, output A goes to 1 and output B goes to 0.
If S = 0 and R = 1, output A goes to 0 and output B goes to 1.
If S = 1 and R = 1, a changeover flip-flop (Wechselflipflop) is formed, i.e., the output changes with each successive clock pulse (T-flip-flop behavior).
If S = 0 and R = 0 with T = 1 and T̄ = 0, the state is held. In the other case of T = 0 and T̄ = 1 (Binärtakt), the state is clocked through.
For S = 1 and R = 1, the flip-flop forms a counting / toggle flip-flop (Zählflipflop); on each rising edge of the clock input, the state toggles. Together with the associated gate circuitry, this allows the flip-flop to be configured as an input for the mode-of-operation control (Betriebsartensteuerung) of the analog computer.
The triggering of additional flip-flops (from the A output to the next flip-flop T input) is possible, thereby building a flip-flop chain (Flipflopkette).
The comparison of analog signals (from input A and input B) is evaluated by the comparator and fed into the flip-flop; the result is available at both the true (Q) and complementary (Q̄) outputs.
The digital output of the flip-flop stages (Kap. 7.6) is used for the Betriebsartensteuerung (mode-of-operation control) of the analog computer units.
7.7 Shift Register (QB)
[page 55: figure only — schematic diagram, card layout diagram, and symbol for the shift register plug-in unit (QB). The schematic shows four cascaded flip-flop stages with serial-entry and serial-reset inputs S_s / R_s, a clock input T, a load input E, a clear input L, and parallel outputs A_1 through A_4 at card-edge positions 0–3, 4–7, 8–11, and 12–15. The symbol block is labelled with pin designations. A footnote states: “The interconnections between the outputs Q, Q̄, C_1, C_2 … of one stage and the inputs of the next stage are internal and are indicated at the outputs of the group. A_1, A_2 etc. are the outputs of the group A_1, A_2 …”]
Notes on Section 7.7 (Shift Register)
The plug-in unit contains a four-stage shift register consisting of four flip-flops. The outputs of the flip-flops are located at card-edge positions 0–3, 4–7, 8–11, and 12–15. Each flip-flop has two parallel outputs: the normal output and the inverted (negated) output signal. The indicator lamps for each flip-flop illuminate when a logical 1 appears at output A.
Description of Inputs
-
S_s, R_s — Serial-set and serial-reset inputs. These allow a new item of information to be entered into the first stage. In the event of simultaneous application of a clock pulse on T and a signal changing from 0 to 1 on S_s, S_s and R_s are each active as long as a logical 1 is applied to inputs L (clear) and E (store). A logical 1 must be present at both these inputs.
-
S — Shift. Input S must be held at logical 0 and simultaneously a clock pulse must be applied to T so that the information can be shifted into the following stages and S_s and R_s made active. Simultaneously, logical 1 must be present at inputs E (store) and L (clear).
-
E — Store. This input enables the presetting of individual flip-flops of the shift register. For this purpose E must be held at logical 1 and a clock pulse applied to T. The desired starting value is entered in binary form by holding the corresponding flip-flop inputs S_1 and R_1 statically at 0. Alternatively, with E held at logical 1, the inputs S_s, R_s through S_4, R_4 together with a single clock pulse on T can be used to load all stages simultaneously.
-
L — Clear of all flip-flops in the shift register. Clearing occurs upon the arrival of a clock pulse on T when L is held at logical 0.
-
T — Clock input. Required for all changes to the shift register.
Unconnected inputs act as if tied to logical 1.
For output loading capacity, see Section 8.
7.8 Counter (Z)
[page 57: figure only — schematic diagram, card layout diagram, and symbol for the counter plug-in unit (Z). The principal schematic shows four flip-flop stages with decode logic for counts 1 through 16. The symbol lists inputs Z_s (static count input), Z_D (dynamic count input), S_1–S_4 (preset inputs), R_1–R_4 (preset reset inputs), E (store), L (clear), T (clock), and outputs D_0 through D_8 with associated indicator lamps. A note states: “At the static output Z the signal Q is taken from output D_0 Q1.” A second note: “The static counter inputs on all interconnection members and generally also the preset inputs of the counter must not be switched to the dynamic clock input.”]
Notes on Section 7.8 (Counter)
The plug-in unit Z contains a counter consisting of four flip-flops with decoding for counts 1 to 16. In every count state the associated output provides a logical 1 along with simultaneous illumination of the corresponding indicator lamp.
Description of Inputs
-
S_1, R_1 … S_4, R_4 — Inputs of four flip-flops for use when presetting the counter. Entry of the desired starting count is accomplished in binary form by holding the corresponding flip-flop inputs S_i and R_i statically at logical 0. If input E is simultaneously held at logical 0 and a clock pulse appears at T, the counter is set to the value presented.
-
E — Store. Control input for presetting the counter. For this purpose E must be held at logical 0 and a clock pulse must arrive at T.
-
L — Clear. Clearing occurs upon the arrival of a clock pulse at T when L is held at logical 0.
-
T — Clock input. Required for both storing and clearing the counter.
-
Z_s — Static count input. Counting of the counter over input Z_s may only take place as long as the dynamic count input Z_D is at logical 0.
-
Z_D — Dynamic count input. The counter increments on the dynamic clock signal.
The counter outputs must not be switched to the dynamic clock input. Through appropriate wiring the counter can be programmed as a ring counter for any desired modulus. For output loading capacity, see Section 8.
Notes on Section 7.8 (Counter) — continued
[page 59: figure only — table showing the presetting states of the counter. The table is headed “Voreinstellung des Zählers” (Presetting of the Counter) and lists all sixteen combinations of flip-flop states S_1 through S_4 (expressed as binary values 0 and 1) for counts 0 through 13, with columns for S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4, R_1, R_2, R_3, R_4. The table represents the binary encoding required to preset the counter to each specific starting value.]
7.9 Monoflop (MF)
[page 60: figure only — front-panel layout of the Monoflop plug-in unit, showing card-edge pin assignments. The layout identifies inputs S (Set), T (Trigger/Clock), and time-constant control inputs including a potentiometer, and outputs A and Ā. Pin assignments are shown for positions along both sides of the card edge.]
Notes on Section 7.9 (Monoflop)
1. Purpose and Type of the Plug-in Unit
The monoflop plug-in unit II-MF 1 55.3005.707-00 completes the program of digital elements in the DEX 802 digital add-on set and can be inserted at will into card positions 00…23 of Magazine I. The plug-in unit contains four mutually independent monoflops, each of which is capable of generating output pulses with a pulse width from 10 µs to 1.22 s.
2. Input and Output Designations; Function of the Plug-in Unit
The designations and arrangement of the inputs and outputs are located on the plug-in unit back-panel bus (Fig. 1). The middle numeric sequence on the bus is identical with the byte address on the digital programmer field and facilitates the location of individual bytes. The byte affiliation to a monoflop is spatially delimited by the indicator lamp opening and, in addition to the time-range byte, is identified by indexing.
Activation of the monoflop is accomplished through inputs S and T. A logical “0” must be applied to the preset input S; the trigger should be applied as a 1/0 → 0 transition (falling edge) on T. In the quiescent state output A is at logical “0” and the associated indicator lamp is extinguished. As soon as the monoflop is activated and a logical “1” appears at A, the lamp lights. The pulse width of the monoflop output is determined by the time-influencing inputs G: 0.1; 1; 10; 100, which are fixed in value. The digits are dimension-dependent. Depending on the desired pulse width, the corresponding input must be held at logical “0.” In addition to this stepped switching, a continuous fine adjustment of the time can be made using the potentiometer. The time value of the byte setting must be multiplied by the potentiometer scale value to obtain the set pulse width of the output pulse.
A speed increase by a factor of 10 is obtained by holding byte F at logical “0,” i.e., all time values must be divided by 10.
Beside F, the byte ZSA (time-constant control output) is provided. It is identical with byte ZSA on the digital programmer field and supplies a logical “0” to the digital programmer field. When the computer runs at 10× speed, i.e., byte F on the digital programmer field is held at logical “0” — which causes F and ZSA to be connected via a short-circuit plug — the monoflop is included in this process.
Timing Diagram
Fig. 21: Timing Diagrams
The figure shows timing diagrams for the monoflop output pulse at various G-settings. The horizontal axis is the output pulse length T_L in milliseconds (range shown: 0.01 to 1000 ms). Hatched zones correspond to settings G = 100, 10, 1, 0.1 ms, each covering approximately one decade. The formula for the output pulse length is:
T_L = G · P / F
where: G = 0.1; 1; 10; 100 (time range in ms), P = 1 to 12 (potentiometer setting), F = 1; 10 (speed factor).
In the unconnected state all inputs act as if tied to logical “1.”

9. Input Levels of Operating and Control Elements of the DEX 802

|---|---|---|---|
| FF | S, C | 2 V | — |
| T | — | 2 V | |

Non-activated inputs present the logical level 1 dar. A logical 0 is that level which is less than or equal to approximately 0.4 V above the lower reference level.
The inputs K, L, and S are interchangeable as they operate simultaneously as clock inputs.
The activation level of the preset inputs FF, QB, and Z is defined by the Voreinscheider (pre-selector) and amounts to approximately 2 V (0.7 V + 1.3 V). The activation of the clock output (Taktausgang) by Typ T amounts to approximately 2 V.
Fanout Capability:
The maximum drive capability (Aussteuerungsgrenze) of the DEX 802 logic follows the logic defined in:
Logical 0: U_0 = 0 V (2·(+0.4) V) Logical 1: U_1 = 12 V (–1.5 V … +1.5 V)
The maximum Aussteuerung (output swing) of the DEX 802 bus amounts to ±12 V.
Appendix 1: Timing Diagrams for the Control Lines
[page 67: figure only — detailed timing diagram for control-line signals. Two sections are shown:
DEX 802 — Eingabe (Input): Shows timing relationships for the signals:
- Taktsignal (clock signal)
- AP (output latch)
- A_1–A_4 (address lines 1–4)
Relative timing marks indicate setup and hold times referenced to the rising and falling clock edges. Multiple clock cycles are depicted with the address lines changing state shortly before a clock edge.
DEX 802 — Ausgabe (Output): Shows timing relationships for:
- Taktsignal (clock signal)
- FF-1 … FF-4 (flip-flop states 1–4 as bus output lines)
- A1–A4, +A1–+A4 (address and inverted-address outputs)
- Z/D (count/data lines)
- ZD4 → A1 (counter decode to address 1)
- ZD4 (counter decode output)
- ZD4 + A1 (combined)
The diagram shows that outputs update on specific clock edges relative to the address bus transitions, with annotations indicating minimum and maximum propagation delays. The lower portion of the figure contains an explanatory note (partially legible) indicating that the timing applies to the standard operating frequency, and that timing margins may be reduced at higher clock rates.]
