a protected location.
In addition to requesting an interrupt Cif jumpered appropriately)
the Interrupt Request flip/flop enables tbe board to respond to
the next Status Read CINP PEJ.
as a normal status read, which indicates what board is affected and
which IK blocks on that board are protected.
flip/flop is reset by the appropriate output command.
Because of the possible conflict during a status read if the Interrupt
Request flip/flop is set between a board select and the following
Status Read, it is suggested that all status reads be performed by
a subroutine which disables interrupts, selects a board, reads its
status, enables interrupts and returns.
To obtain the Interrupt Request feature, a jumper must be installed
to connect the RAM 4A to the desired Priority Interrupt line on the
back plane.
Figure- 2 illustrates the placement of this jumper.
