MAGNETIC TAPE CONTROL COMMANDS
CEM (CLOCK EDIT MODE)
Allows
the
EXPANDED ROADRUNNER to
read
Clock-trak of magnetic tape and
synchronize the program in memory. If
the tape data stops, the program will
stop
0.5
seconds after the
data
stops.
As soon as the Clock-trak input begins
again, the system will execute a
GOT0 to
be ready for the next section.
CIM (CLOCK INPUT MODE)
This command will put the system into
CLOCK INPUT MODE. The CLOCK TRAK data
on a tape does not resemble normal cues
on a data tape so the AVL Genesis will
T
ignore Clock-trak data unless you are in
either CLOCK INPUT or CLOCK EDIT mode.
When the system is in either of the two
modes (CIM, CEM),
it
will accept only
Clock-trak data as a valid input. The
Clock-trak coming into the system starts
and stops a program stored in the memory
of the AVL Genesis at precise times that
you can designate and normal cue data
will be sent out of the system.
The main difference between CLOCK INPUT
and CLOCK EDIT modes
is
that in CLOCK
INPUT mode the system will continue to
run on its own internal clock timer
if
the input from the Clock-trak on tape
