ADC/Interface Section
Introduction
Introduction
The ADC/Interface section includes the A1A1 keyboard, A1A2 RPG
(rotary pulse generator), and A3 interface assemblies. In 8560E
instruments with option 007, the A16 fast ADC board is also part of the
ACD circuitry. For an explanation of fast ADC circuitry in 8560EC
instruments see the section on the fast ADC located in chapter 9.
Table 7-1 on page 355 lists signal versus pin numbers for control cable
W2.
