The 5-Level BNPF Format, Codes 08 or 09
Except for the start and end codes, the same character set and
specifications are used for the ASCII-BNPF and 5-level BNPF formats.
Data for input to the programmer are punched on 5-hole Telex paper
tapes to be read by any paper tape reader that has an adjustable tape
guide. The reader reads the tape as it would an 8-level tape, recording the
5 holes that are on the tape as 5 bits of data. The 3 most significant bits are
recorded as if they were holes on an 8-level tape. Tape generated from a
telex machine using this format can be input directly to a serial paper
tape reader interfaced to the programmer. the programmer’s software
converts the resulting 8-bit codes into valid data for entry in RAM.
The start code for the format is a left parenthesis, (Figs K on a telex
machine), and the end code is a right parenthesis, (Figs L on a telex
machine). The 5-level BNPF format does not have addresses.
Note: Data without a start or end code may be input to or output from the
programmer by use of the alternate data translation format code, 09. This
format accepts an abort character (10 hex) to abort the transmission.
