3107
The 3107 is a bidirectional 24-bit, parallel data channel with twice the data transfer rate of
the standard 3106 I/O channel. One 3107 occupies the same cabinet space required for two
3106 channels. If a 3107 is installed in a system, the maximum number of 3106 channels is
limited to two and the 3107 is installed in the space reserved for channels 2 and 3.
OPTIONAL ARITHMETIC MODULE
The floating point/48-bit precision standard arithmetic option No. 10018 provides the
necessary logic to execute 36-bit precision coefficient floating point arithmetic.
It
also
permits the 48-bit precision multiply and divide instructions to be executed directly
by the hardware.
The BCD standard arithmetic option No. 10019 permits decimal numbers to be added.
subtracted, loaded, stored or sensed directly without the use of interpretive software.
When both standard arithmetic options are incorporated into a system, it is referred
to as the 3100 General Arithmetic Option No. 10020. If one or both options are absent,
the instructions pertaining to that option(s) can be executed by entering a trapped
routine and utilizing the appropriate software.
If either or both arithmetic options are present in a system, they are contained In
chassis 4 which is normally located between chassis 1 and 2.
CONSOLES
A choice of three consoles is available for use in 3100 Computer Systems. Two consoles
are provided with binary displays and identical programming switches. A third, the
standard 3200 console, provides octal register readouts.
Standard Integrated Console
The integrated console consists of an upright control panel and display assembly
mounted on the end of the main computer frame. This console features binary displays,
status indicators, programming switches, monitor loudspeaker, and a removable key-
board for remote operation. A CONTROL DATA 3192 On-Line Typewriter is compatible
for systems using an integrated console. Refer to the Consoles and Power Control
Panel section for a more detailed description of this console.
3101
The optional 3101 Desk Console is electrically identical to and replaces the integrated console.
It features a special display panel for status conditions and binary register representation.
The entry keyboard and on-line typewriter are integral parts of this console. A chair is
provided for the computer operator. Refer to Figure 1-2.
3200 Console
The 3200 Console may be used in 3100 Systems to provide octal register displays. This
console is referred to as Standard Option No. 10013 when used in a 3100 System. If
the system incorporates the BCD arithmetic option, the
ED
register is displayed by
decimal digits with visual plus and minus signs. An operator's chair is also provided
with this console. A full view of a 3200 Console appears in Figure 1-3.
