PANEL  PROCESSOR  FUNCTION

configured  to  receive  parallel  data  directly  from  the system   computer.   The   display   console   converts   the symbol,   graphic,   and   sensor   data   into   coordinate data  and  sends  this  data  to  the  BDU  for  display  on the  CRT.  The  alphanumeric  data  is  converted  into a   composite   video   data   for   display   on   the   TV monitor.  The  computer  display  console  consists  of the   following   15   functions: O-data   receiver   function Input/output   processor   function Memory   sort   processor   function System   memory   function Graphics   processor   function Display   generator   function Panel   processor   function Sweep   and   raster   function Digital   deflection   function Clock   generator   function TV   monitor   display   generator   function Computer-controlled   action   entry   panel (CCAEP)    function I - d a t a I - d a t a storage   and   control   function transmitter   function Diagnostic   function T h e    f o u r    p r o c e s s o r    f u n c t i o n s    c o n t a i n microprocessors. When  power  is  turned  on,  each microprocessor   runs   a   diagnostic   check   of   its respective   functions,   then   downloads   its   program   to system   memory. The  processors  receive  and  store data,  communicate  with  each  other,  and  transfer  data via   system   memory   and   buses.   Only   one   processor function  at  a  time  can  access  the  system  buses. O-DATA   RECEIVER   FUNCTION.—  T h e O-data   receiver   function   interfaces   the   display console   with   the   CDB.   It   receives   the   encoded serial  data  from  the  CDB,  decodes  it  to  serial  data, and   sends   the   data   to   the   I/O   processor   function. Parallel   data   received   from   the   system   computer   is buffered  and  sent  to  the  I/O  processor. I N P U T / O U T P U T    ( I / O )    P R O C E S S O R FUNCTION.—  The   input/output   processor   function controls   all   communications   with   the   system computer.   It   receives   data   from   the   O-data   receiver function   and   distributes   the   data   throughout   the display   console. It   also   buffers   the   O-data   and sends  the  buffered  O-data  to  the  BDU. M E M O R Y     S O R T     P R O C E S S O R FUNCTION.—  The  memory  sort  processor  function controls  the  operation  of  the  system  memory.  It provides   memory   management   by   sectioning   the refresh   memory,   checking   the   refresh   memory   for changes,   clearing   memory,   and   checking   for   page enabling  and  end-of-page  codes.  The  memory  sort processor   function   also   updates   trackball   data   and commands  the  graphics  processor  function. SYSTEM  MEMORY  FUNCTION.—  The  system memory  function  is  used  for  storage  of  the  processor programs   and   for   temporary   storage   of   data.   The system   memory   contains   128K   of   RAM   for   use   by the   display   console. The   system   memory   function also  controls  the  use  of  the  data  buses  by  the  other functions   of   the   console. GRAPHICS   PROCESSOR   FUNCTION.—   The graphics  processor  function  converts  processed refresh  memory  data,  from  the  system  memory,  into display  data.  This  display  data  is  sent  to  the  display generator. DISPLAY   GENERATOR   FUNCTION.—   The display  generator  controls  the  display  of  all  types  of symbols  on  the  basic  display  unit.  Display  data 4-10
