PRODUCTION
STATISTICS
The
production
statistics
feature
provides
statistics
on
card
punch/verifier
production
for
use
in
measurement
of
work
load, analysis
of
errors,
and
job
accounting. This
feature
provides
a
combination
electronic
counter package.
Keystroke Counter
This
six-position
counter
(000,000
to
999,999) counts
every data keystroke
in
punch
and
verify
mode, and
all
functional
keystrokes
except:
alpha,
numeric, multipunch,
feed,
register,
program
select,
dup,
verify correction,
and
verify
reset.
It
does not decrement; overflow
rolls
from
999,999
to
000,000
with
no
indication or
operator action
necessary.
Card Counter
This
four-position
counter
(0000
to
9999)
counts every
output record
in
punch
mode
and
every
verify-correct
or
correction-punched card
in verify
mode.
It
does not count
error cards in verify
mode, program
cards read
in,
and
data
cards read
in. It
counts
program
cards or
accumulator
total
cards that are
punched
out.
The
counter does not
decre-
ment; overflow
rolls
from 9999
to
0000
with
no
indication
or operator action necessary.
Verify Correction
Keystroke Counter
This four-position counter
(0000
to
9999)
counts each
verify-correction-rewrite
keystroke
in verify
mode.
It
does
not count the
verify-reset
keystroke,
nor
the
retry
key-
stroke^)
prior to the actual rewrite keystroke.
It
counts
only the
actual rewrite
strokes. If
VER CORR
is
used
to
rewrite a
field
or record, every data keystroke
is
a
rewrite,
and
is
therefore counted. Reverification
keystrokes
after
a
rewrite correction
has
been
made
are
not counted.
The
counter
does not decrement; overflow
rolls
from
9999
to
0000
with
no
indication
or operator action necessary.
Operation
All
counting
is
done
automatically
under machine
control,
not under operator
or
program
control. All
counters
may
be
punched
out,
or
punched
out
and
reset,
under
operator-
keyboard
control.
Selective
counter
punchout
is
not
possible.
Indicative
data (operator
number, machine number,
date,
job,
etc.)
may
be manually
punched
in
columns 01-66 of
the
total
card.
These keystrokes
are
counted
in
the
keystroke counter,
but
the
total
card
is
not
counted
in
the
card counter.
Totals
may
be
punched by
batch, job, or day,
etc.
All
counters
are reset
to
when
machine power
is
turned
on.
This
feature
may
be
field installed.
Note:
In verify
mode,
error cards,
which
are
not counted
in
the card counter,
may
be
collected
and counted
separately
and
the
number punched
with
other
indicative
data
in
the
total
card to provide additional data
on
errors
per
card,
etc.
Punchout
Procedure
Production
statistics
are
punched
into
columns
67-80,
under
control
of
PROGRAM MODE
and
REL.
Punchout
is
done by
the
operator
as follows:
1.
Set
machine
in
punch mode:
PRINT
set
to
ON,
if
desired.
2.
Register
a
card;
set
REC ADV/CARD FEED
to
AUTO.
3.
Key
indicative
information,
as
desired,
in
columns
01-66, using
any
desired
program
level (0-6).
4.
In
column
67, or
prior:
a).
Turn
PROGRAM MODE
to
STAT
PCH.
b).
Press
REL
to
cause
punchout
without
reset
to
statistics
counters,
c).
Press
and
hold
NUMERIC
shift
and
REL
to cause
punchout
with
reset
of
statistics
counters.
5.
If
a keystroke, other
than
REL,
is
made
in
column
67,
production
statistics
does not
punchout
when
REL
is
pressed
(although card
does punch)
unless
appropriate
backspace recovery
to
column 67
or
prior
is
made
before
REL
is
pressed.
6.
Punchout
occurs
as follows:
Card
Columns

spaces
67-72
Keystroke counter
total
73-76
Card

7.
Machine
is
in
program
level
at
conclusion of
punchout.
Set
PROGRAM MODE
dial
to desired
home
position,
and
manually program
select
