PROGRAMMING AND MAINTENANCE CONSOLE
The programming and maintenance console as
shown below is an integral part of the central proc-
essor or, as an option, can be a plug-in portable unit
when several central processors are used but only
one console is required. This console allows the
programmer and product service engineer to com-
municate with the computer in machine language and
to step through programs.

Register Display P, I, B, or A
The 24 register displays are pushbutton
momentary-type switch lights. These 24 switches
operate in conjunction with the A, B, I or P register
select switches.
If
A or B is selected, depressing
any one of the 24 sets a one bit into that position of
the register selected. These switches are enabled
in the manual mode only. The entire register is
cleared by depressing the "clear" switch. Individual
reset
is not provided.
Register Select P, I, B, A
The "P, I, B, and A" are momentary-type
switch lights. Depressing one of these switches
causes the respective light to glow and the associ-
ated register contents to be displayed in the 24 reg-
ister display lights. Depressing any one of these
four switches de-selects the others. These switches
are enabled in the auto or manual modes.
Register Console Switches (RCS)
These 24 console switches are latching-type
switches that operate in conjunction with the "read
