Scan Theory
In this chapter you will read about:
scan function
scan time
The processor controls the status of output devices or instructions in

instruction, the amount of data to be operated on, and whether the
instruction is true or false.
As a review from chapter 2, there are two types of scans (Figure 8.1):
I/O scan
