Select
ON
to configure the generator for the parity mode. The biphase mark parity bit will be put in a
state where every 80 bit word will contain an even number of logic zeros, in order that the
magnetization transient between bit cell 79 of one word and bit cell zero of the next shall always be in
the same direction.
4.5.14. Configuring How the Continuous Jam Mode Works
When There is No Reader Code
The
NO CODE JAM
item on the GENERATOR menu controls the operation of the Continuous Jam
Sync Mode when there is no incoming code.
Select
RUN
when you want the generator to free run when there is no incoming Reader code. When
the reader code resumes, the generator will re-jam to the incoming code. Using this mode will allow
the user to repair large dropouts in the incoming code. The generated code will be continuous if the
incoming code is also continuous.
Select
HOLD
when you want the generator to stop when there is no incoming Reader code. When the
reader code resumes, the generator will re-jam to the incoming code. Use this mode if you want the
output of the generator to stop on the last number read when you stop the tape machine supplying the
incoming code to the reader.
Select
MUTE
when you want to turn off the generator when there is no incoming Reader code. The
generator time will stop at the last number read. When the reader code resumes, the generator will
turn on and re-jam to the incoming code. Use this mode if you want the output of the generator to turn
off completely when you stop the tape machine supplying the incoming code to the reader.
