scans equal to the file length. In the incremental mode (r = 0), the
operation must be enabled by a separate false-true transition for each word
in the file.
The operation of the status bits in the incremental mode is illustrated in
Figure 12.10. The enable bit is on if the rung is true. After the last word
in the file has been operated upon, the done bit comes on. When the rung
goes false after the last word has been operated upon, the enable and done
bits are reset to zero and the counter is reset to position 001. If the rung
remains true for more than one scan, the operation does not repeat. The
operation only occurs on the scan in which the false-true transition occurs.

A file instruction can be entered into the user program by pressing the
key representing the general type of block instruction, i.e., [FILE] or
[SEQUENCER] followed by a numeric code (such as 0, 1, 2 or 10, 11, 12
etc.) specific to the instruction. A list of numeric codes for each general
type of block instruction can be displayed by pressing the general
instruction key followed by the [HELP] key. See Section 4.4.2, Help
directories, for additional information.
After the key sequence is pressed, the instruction block will be displayed.
The title will be intensified and blinking until all required information is
