1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION<br />
SECTION II-B. <strong>UNIVAC</strong> 1532 INPUT/OUTPUT CONSOLE<br />
The <strong>UNIVAC</strong> 1532 I/O console is a ruggedized computer I/O and monitoring device<br />
designed to perform reliably in applications where extreme environmental conditions<br />
exist. The cabinet and packaging of components for the console follow<br />
the same design plans found in ruggedized <strong>UNIVAC</strong> computers and peripherals built<br />
for military applications.<br />
The <strong>UNIVAC</strong> lS32 I/O console consists of a paper tape punch, paper tape reader,<br />
page printer·, alphanumeric keyboard·, control and computer interface logic,<br />
and power supplies assembled into a compact unit which operates on a single input/output<br />
channel. Programs or program modifications on punched paper tape<br />
(S to 8 level) prepared off-line manually or on-line under computer program control<br />
by the punch may be loaded by the reader. Alphanumeric entries to the computer<br />
may be made at the keyboard with automatic printout. The page printer is<br />
also useful as a program monitoring device; it provides a running record of<br />
real-time and normal program activities. The lS32 I/O console may be used with<br />
all <strong>UNIVAC</strong> general-purpose military computers.<br />
1.1 OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS<br />
1.1.1 ON-LINE MODE<br />
In the on-line mode of operation, the console with printer option provides the<br />
following operations:<br />
1) Read paper tape input to the computer (any code).<br />
2) Punch paper tape (any code) from computer output.<br />
3) Print on paper (7-bit ASCII) from computer output.<br />
4) Keyboard input to the computer (7-bit ASCII) with print on paper.<br />
S) Keyboard input to the computer with print on paper and (under program control)<br />
punch paper tape in any code.<br />
6) Read paper tape input to the computer and (under program control) print on<br />
paper.<br />
7) Read paper tape input to the computer and (under program control) punch<br />
paper tape (any code).<br />
8) Read paper tape input to the computer and (under program control) print<br />
on paper and punch paper tape (7-bit ASCII).<br />
9) Computer output to punch paper tape (7-bit ASCII) with print on paper.<br />
*The keyboard and printer are optional items.<br />
