CONNECTION
OF
EXTERNAL
READOUT
INSTRUMENTS
The
GP-6
offers
a
choice
of
slow
and
fast
time
scales.
Slow
time
outputs
are
normally
recorded
with
an
XY
plotter
or
strip
chart
recorder;
fast
time
outputs
are
normally
displayed
by
an
oscilloscope.
A
time
base
is
provided
and
should
be
used
wherever
possible
as
the
X
input
to
an
XY
plotter
or
XY
oscilloscope.
Use
of
the
interal
time
base
offers
two
advantages.
1.
The
time
base
is
calibrated
to
match
the
integrator
time
scales.
2.
It
sweeps
across
a
fixed
range
of
co-
ordinates
regardless
of
the
time
period
being
plotter
or
displayed.

The
following
are
procedures
for
input
scaling
adjustments:
1.
Position the
MODE
SELECTOR switch to OPR.
2.
Depress the IC mode control push button.
3.
Position boththe Y/POTADDRESS and X ADDRESS switches to GND.
4.
Adjust the
plotter or oscilloscope X and Y zero controls until plotter's pen or oscilloscope's dot
is
the the graph or display center.
5.
Position the Y/POT ADDRESS and X ADDRESS switches to -REF.
6.
Adjust the plotter or oscilloscope X and Y gain controls until the pen or dot
is
the pen
or dot negative full scale deflection.
7.
Position the Y/POT ADDRESS and X ADDRESS switches to
+
REF.
8.
Check the pen or dot.
It
should be the positive
full
scale deflection.
9.
Repeat the procedures if necessary.
The
readout
instruments
will
either
plot
or
display
an
amplifier
output
as
a
function
of
time
or
of
another
amplifier
output,
as
selected
by
Y
and
X
ADDRESS
switch
positions
(para
1.5.)
Regarding
time
functions,
zero
time
begins
at
the
negative
full
scale
deflection
and
sweeps
to
positive
full
scale,
where
the
positive
full
scale
deflection
equals
the
compute
time
period
(para.
1.3.)
If
the
oscilloscope
internal
time
base
is
used
for
the
repetitive
operation
display,
the
fast
time
scale
ratio
of
400:
1
must
be
considered:
one
computer
time
second
equals
2.5
milliseconds
real
time.
1.2
SETTING
COEFFICIENT
POTENTIOMETERS
Coefficients
are
set
in
a
potentiometer
setting
mode
where
a
setting
is
displayed
by
the
digital voltmeter
and
a
selected
potentiometer
is
adjusted
until
the
desired
setting
is
observed.
Setting
procedures
are:
1.
Complete all patching
so
that settings are made under their operating loads.
(If
pots 7
and 8 are to be used
as
normal attenuators, check to assure that their bottom ends are
patched to ground.)
2.
Position the
MODE
SELECTOR switch to POT SET.
3.
Position the Y/POT ADDRESS switch to the number ofthe pot to be set.
4.
Adjust the pot knob until the desired setting
is

1.2.1
Effects
of
Amplifier
Overrange
An
amplifier
overrange
will
alter
the
setting
of
any
pot
patched
to
the
overranged
amplifier
input.
If
the
overload
alarm
appears
when
the
POT
SET
mode
is
selected,
remove
the
overrange
condition
by
patching
overranged
amplifier
outputs
directly
to
their
summing
junctions.
Be
sure
to
remove
these
patch
cords
prior
to
running
the
program.
1.3
SETTING
THE

PROBLEM
SOLUTION
The
typical
analysis
of
an
analog
computer
simulation
is
to
evaluate
the
response
curves
of
dependent
variables
(ampliier
outputs)
as
functions
of
the
independent
variable
(time.)
To
produce
time
response
curves:
1.
Position the Y/POT ADDRESS switch to the amplifier output that
is
to be the curve's
ordinate.
2.
Position the
XI
ADDRESS switch to TIME, the curve's abscissa.

of
the
individual operations
are
described
in
the following:
2.1
Y/POT
ADDRESS
The
Y/POT
ADDRESS
switch
is
an
11
position, 2pole rotary switch.
One
section selects
amplifier outputs for
external
readout;
the othersection selects coefficient potentiometer
outputs for setting attenuator constants.
The
amplifier selector wiper
is
connected
to
the
rear
terminal Y
OUTPUT;
the
pot selector wiper
is
brought to a
MODE
SELECTOR
switch contact to
be
the
input to
the
internal
digital voltmeter
(DVM)
when
the
switch
is
in
the
POT
SET
position.
(It
is
noted
that
the
GND/X
position
of
the pot selector section
is
con-nected to
the
X
ADDRESS
switch wiper
so
that the
DVM
may
be
used
to

2.2 X ADDRESS
The X ADDRESS switch is an 11 position, 1 pole rotary switch. It selects amplifier outputs,
the internal time base (TIME) and the compute time output (CTP.) Its wiper is connected
to the rear terminal X OUTPUT and the GND/X position of the Y/POT ADDRESS switch,
pot selector section.
2.3 MODE CONTROL
The following system integrator modes are controlled with the four mode control push
buttons.
2.3.1 Initial Condition
Depression of the IC push button pulls the OP bus to ground for reset of system
integrators.
2.3.2 Hold
Depression of the HD push buttons pulls the OP bus to a hold mode control voltage
level (approximately -2 volts) for placement of system integrators into a hold mode
condition.
2.3.3 Operate
Depression of the OP push button releases the OP bus to an operate mode control
level (-5 to -15 volts) for placement of system integrators into a slow time, operate
condition.
2.3.4 Repetitive Operation
Depression of the RO push button de-energizes the integrator time scale relays and
connects the OP bus to the repetitive operation timing unit mode control. Integrator
time constants are reduced by a factor of 400 and mode control is repetitively
switched from initial condition to operate.
2.4 MODE SELECTOR
The MODE SELECTOR switch is a 2 position, 12 pole rotary switch. It selects the
following functions to distinguish between the computer's POT SET and OPR modes.
2.4.1 Setting of Coefficient Potentiometers
The top end input to each coefficient potentiometer is connected to one of eight
poles. In the OPR position, the poles are switched to the patch panel input; in POT
SET, the poles are switch to +1O volts. Thus in the pot set mode the inputs to all
potentiometers are replaced by computer reference and the potentiometer output
values are measurements of the settings.
2.4.2 Internal Digital Voltmeter
One pole is connected to the DVM input. In POT SET, the pole is switched to the
Y/POT ADDRESS switch wiper, pot selector section; in OPR the pole is switched to
the rear terminal METER INPUT.
2.4.3 Integrator Mode Control
One pole is connected to the rear terminal OP OUTPUT. In POT SET, the pole is
switched to ground; in OPR the pole is switched to the push button mode control
switch selection. Thus in the pot set mode, all integrators are placed into an initial
condition state; in the operate mode, all integrators are controlled by the push button
selections.
2.4.4 Compute Time Period Amplifier
Two poles are used to program the CTP amplifier, shown in Figures 2-1 and 2-2. The
CTP amplfier is a part of the Timer PC board assembly.

a
series
1
OK
ohm
resistor
to
the
CTP
amplifier
summing
junction. A1
OK
ohm
resistor
is
the
feedback.
Therefore:
CTP
=
-10/(CT
+
10)
x
10
volts.
In
POT
SET,
+
10
volts
is
applied
through
a
100K
ohm
resistor
to
the
CTP
summing
junction.
The
COMPUTE
TIME
control
and
1
OK
ohm
resistor
are
the
feedback.
Therefore:
CTP
=
-(CT
+
10)/100
x
10
volts.
The
CTP
amplifier
output
in
POT
SET
is
one
tenth
the
reciprocal
of
its
value
in
OPR.
As
the
CTP
output
is
the
input
to
the
time
base
integrator,
its
reciprocal
is
an
indicator
of
the
compute
time
period.
2.4.5
Hold Inhibit
One
pole
is
connected
to
the
integrator
hold
inhibit
control.
In
the
normal
integrator
initial
condition
mode,
the
hold
switch
is
shut
off,
thereby
isolating
the
input
resistor
network.
As
poten-itometers
must
be
set
with
their
resistor
loads,
it
is
necessary
to
disable
the
hold
switches
during
the
pot
set
mode.
In
POT
SET,
the
pole
is
switched
to a
positive
voltage
and
all
integrator
hold
switches
are
held
in
an
"on"
condition;
in
OPR
the
pole
is
switched
negative
and
all
integrator
all
allowed
to function
under
normal
hold
mode
control.
2.5
COMPUTE
TIME
The
COMPUTE
TIME
control
is
a
combination
1
OOK
ohm
variable
resistor
and
off-on
switch.
While
in
the
operate
mode
the
variable
resistor
is
the
CTP
amplifier
input.
The
CTP
amplifier
is
scaled
so
that
the
COMPUTE
TIME
control
adjusts
its
output
within
a
range
of
-10
volts
to
-1
volt.
The
time
base
integrator
is
scaled
so
that a
-1
O
volt
input
produces
a
compute
time
period
of
1
o
computer
seconds;
a
-1
volt input
produces
100
seconds.
The
off-on
switch
is
the
primary
AC
power
switch.
2.6
COEFFICIENT
POTENTIOMETERS
The
coefficient
potentiometers
are
ten
turn,
5K
ohm
variable
resistors.
Pots
1 -
6
are
arranged
as
attenuators
with
their
bottom
ends
grounded;
pots
7&8
have
their
bottom
ends
terminated
at
the
patch
panel.
2.7
OVERLOAD
INDICATORS
The
OVLD
lamp
is
alight

that
indicates

one

Patch panel graphics use standard analog computer programming symbols. Amplifiers 1 thru 4 are single ended,
high gain amplifiers with electronic mode switches and summing resistor/integrating capacitor networks that may
be programmed as summer/inverters, integrators, track/store and single pole, double throw electronic switch
amplifiers. Amplifiers 4 and 5 are summer/inverters. Amplifiers 7 and 8 are inverters only. Potentiometers 1 thru 6
are grounded attenuators. Potentiometers 7 and 8 have their bottom ends open and may be used as either voltage
dividers or attenuators. Multiplier networks produce current outputs for direct connection to amplifier summing
junctions, and thus may be patched as multipliers, dividers, squarers and square root extractors.
The following is an explanation of patch panel symbols:

QUAD
AMPLIFIER
ASSEMBLY
The
911
board
provides
two
single
input,
high
gain
operational
amplifiers
and
two
high
gain
operational
amplifiers
with
electronic
switch/integrator
networks.
Amplifiers
A
and
D
are
the
single
input
amplifiers.
Their
patch
panel
summing
junctions
are
connected
directly
to
the
interting
bases.
Back-
to-back
diodes
D2
and
D3
offer
protection
by
limiting
summing
junction
potential.
Capacitor
C1
reduces
peaking.
Amplifiers
B
and
C
are
single
input
amplifiers
with
electronic switch/integrator
networks.
The
electronic
switches
create
two
summing
junctions,
SJ
and
SJ'.
When
the
switch
control
input
(OP)
is
alogic o
(ground
or
positive)
summing
junction
SJ'
conducts;
when
a logic 1
(more
negative
than
-5
volts)
summing
junction
SJ
conducts.
The
integrating
capacitors
are
connected
to
the
SJ
summing
junction
so
that
an
integrator
is
programmed
by
patching
an
amplifier
output to acapacitor
input.
Two
capacitor
inputs
(B
and
.1
B)
offer
10:1
time
scale
selection.
The
Time
Scale
Relay
switches
the
time
scale
change
(400:1)
that
is
required
for
high
speed
repetitive
operation.
Where
the
repetitive
operation
feature
is
provided,
the
repetitive
operation
capacitors
are
connected
directly to
SJ.
When
the
relay
is
energized,
slow
time
capacitors
are
switched
parallel
the
repetitive
operation
capacitors.
(The
relay
is
energized
when
an
approximate
negative
10
volts,
not
negative
reference,
is
applied
to
the
relay
control
input.)
Signal
switching
is
performed
by
N-channel
FET
transistors
Q6
thru
Qa.
Bipolar
transistors
Q1
thru
Q5
are
the
FET
switch
drivers.
Q6
is
the
Hold
FET
(its
an
on
resistance
is
less
than
30
ohms
to
minimize
summing
errors.)
Voltage
divider
resistors
Ra
and
R
12
are
selected
so
that
when
OP
is
between
-1
to
-3
volts,
Q6
shuts
off;
when
OP
is
more
negative
Q6
turns
on.
Q7
is
the
shunt
switch,
QB
is
the
SJ
series
switch
and
Q9
is
the
SJ'
series
switch.
Table
5-1
shows
the

for
the

with
a
zero
gate
voltage
and
shut
off
with
approximately-?
volts.
Back-to-back
diodes
D4
and
DS
limit
the
SJ'
potential
when
Qg
is
off.
Diodes
D2
and
D3
provide
summing
junction protection.
D1
allows
the
Hold
Inhibit
control
to
override
Q1
and
turn
Q6
on.
(Hold
Inhibit logic
is
applied
in
the
Pot
Set
Mode
to
ground
SJ
summing
junctions
that
would
otherwise
be
floating.)
Capacitors
C7
and
resistors
R
13
provide
amplifier
compensation.
Capacitorss
C1
reduces
peaking
when
SJ
has
a
resistor
feedback.
A
similar
capacitor
is
provided
the
SJ'
summing
jucntion.
BALANCING
To
balance
amplifiers
A
and
D,
patch
resistor
feedbacks
and
adjust
potentiometers
PA
and
PD
until
each
amplifier
output
is
a
zero
potential.
Amplifiers
B
and
C
should
be
balanced
when
programmed
as
integrators.
Adjust
PB
and
BC
until
each
integrator
produces
a
minimum
integrator
drift.
