Generated on LSI chip ME16 pins 7 (DCWOl), 8 (DCW02), 9 (DCW03), and
10
(=DC=W-0~4).
The delayed strobe counter like the strobe counter is reset by
DCWO.
During normal printing of 9 x 7 characters, each DLYSTB pulse in-
crements the counter. During elongated character printing, alternate STROBE
pulses increment the counter making each DCWO interval twice its normal width.
As in the strobe counter timing, if option SPCG is used, then the
external DCWOI-DCW04 signals are related to the internal DCWOl to DCW05 intervals
as follows:

DCW)
Generated on LSI chip ME16 pin 24. This signal is the timing input
to the "half-step" character generator ROM (Read-Only Memory).
During normal printing of 9 x 7 characters, each DLYSTB, (Delayed Strobe)
pulse generates a ROME2 pulse. When printing elongated 9 x 7 characters, each
video STROBE pulse generates a ROME2 pulse.
OSC (Oscillator Output)
Generated on LSI chip ME16, pin 25. The frequency of this system clock is
100 KHz (min.) to 200 KHz (max.). Signal OSC is inverted by ME20-6 to generate
OSCXT to the interface connector. Signal OSC is also used by both LSI chips to
generate clocks 01 to 02 used internally by the LSI chips.
