Computer Interfacing

Directions: Step through the program already prewritten below (First "Burn Prom" and "Load RAM") . Set (check) switches S1 thru S8 as desired and observe how single stepping thru entire program causes LED's to illuminate in accordance with switch settings.

The voltmeter can be connected to P1-1 thru P1-18 or TP1 thru TP5 and will sample the voltage at the end of each Single Step cycle (See Note 11 on specification page.) This page has no fault and can be used as an operational baseline as needed in troubleshooting.
