Range Data Handling Integration Studies. In-Line Translators Incorporating Binary/Decimal Converters

摘要

The translator when interposed between a particular data source and receptor must be capable of accepting the data signals, converting the data and generating signals suitable for use by the data receptor. The approach taken in this study has been first to analyze the translator as an entity in the data system. Following this, the data conversion problem has been removed from its system interface in order to assure a radix converter design which is readily adaptable for use throughout the data network. This can be achieved if the data for conversion is preconditioned and standardized by an input unit of the translator prior to entry into the radix converter. After conversion, the data is organized for transmission to the data receptor by an output unit. Thus, the translator has been separated into an Input Buffer, Composition Controller, Radix Converter, and an Output Buffer. Logic designs of the converter have been developed as a part of the study; a design of the complete translator can be developed for any specific application for which a given set of values for input data and the characteristics of the data line are stipulated.
