11/28/73 FOR DON COLELLA LOG THE ANALOG OUTPUTS OF A REPIRATORY FUNCTIONS COMPUTER ON PUNCHED PAPER TAPE. COMPUTER OUTPUT IS A PULSE OF DURATION ?? M.S. WITH AN AMPLITUDE RPRESENTING THE COMPUTED VALUE. THIS AMPLITUDE IS TO BE DIGITIZED AND LOGGED. INITIALLY, THE RESISTANCE CHANNEL AND A CLOCK CHANNEL WILL BE THE THE ONLY AUTOMATIC INPUT. PROVISION WILL BE MADE FOR GENERATING BLANKS FROM A PANEL CONTROL; USEFUL FOR VISUAL MARKING. THERE WILL BE AN OPERATOR OPTION TO DIGITIZE EVERY PULSE OR EVERY NTH PULSE. THE OPTION SELECTION WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY LOGGED. DURING THE OCCURENCE OF A PULSE, IT WILL BE SCALED BY ANALOG AMPLIFER CIRCUITS AND PRESENTED TO AN ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER. THE OUTPUT OF THE CONVERTER WILL BE IN ABSOLUTE UNITS BUT WITHOUT A DECIMAL POINT. THE THREE DECIMAL DIGIT OUPUT WILL BE PRESENTED TO A FORMAT AND DRIVE CONTROL WHICH WILL APPEND A TWO DIGIT IDENTIFICATION CODE AND LOG THE RESULT ON THE PAPER TAPE PUNCH A TIMER CHANNEL WILL BE LOGGED ATOMATICALLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RESISTANCE CHANNEL. ANOTHER FRONT PANEL OPTION WILLBE A MEANS OF ENTERING CODED STATEMENTS INTO THE PAPER TAPE LOG TO DOCUMENT AND LOCATE SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE EXPERIMENT. THE PAPER TAPE LOG CAN BE PRINTED ON ANY OF OUR TELETYPES, AND IT CAN BE READ AND PROCESSED FURTHER ON ANY OF OUR COMPUTERS. .
