To help in understanding normal autoswitch operation, here is an example.
In the following table, the initial conditions are that Input B is the primary signal , Input A is the sec-
ondary signal and the autoswitch is armed.
Input B selected and armed
Input A
AUTO
Input B
Input A is valid
and is the sec-
ondary signal.
AUTO is armed.
Input B is valid and
selected as the primary
signal.
Input B signal fails
Input A
AUTO
Input B
Input B has been
switched to the
outputs and is
AUTO is no longer
valid. No signal is
armed.
Input B signal has failed.
