This method
of
error
correction
is
used
in
the
35754
and
is accornplished
by
rneans
of
logic
ctcuitry
(A5lC4 through IC6)
on
the
Phase Detector
Assembly.
The
four prirnary
signats
(A,
B,
Pl

and
thet
opposites
(A',

Pl
'and

are
applied to the crror

Since
error
states
must be
present
for a
short time
before
they
can
be
detected and corrected,
they
can
still
affect the
accuracy
of
phase
readings.
Due
to
the

scheme,
however, worst-case
errors are
