Status Byte. The status-byte field contains the
ending-status information that is presented to the
channel at the completion of the command. (See "Status-Byte Conditions!! under "Commands. It) Word-Parity Indicator. This bit is set when a parity
error is detected during an access to MCW-2. When this bit is ON with Channel End and Device End, it
is reset; Equipment Check is then set to indicate the
occurrence of a core-storage parity error. Parity. This bit is set to provide odd parity for MCW-2. Main Data Words 1 and 2 MDW-1 and MDW-2 (see Figure 4) store the data
bytes for receive or transmit type operations. Data
is transferred to and from the channel in bursts of
up to four bytes to reduce I/O-interface time. MDW-2 is employed only when synchronous type
operation3 are performed.
Data Byte. The eight data-byte fields store the
channel data bytes. I/O Character Count. The character-count field
defines the number of characters received from the
channel on a transmit data service, or the number
of characters to be sent to the channel on a receive
data service. The character count in conjunction
with the condition of the data bit (ON or OFF) indi­
cates the full or empty condition of the main data
words for a transmit operation.
Data. The data bit is set ON if data is stored in MDW-1 for a transmit operation. The data bit ON with a character count of 3 means MDW-1 is full.
The data bit OFF with an I/O character count of 3
means there is no data in MDW-l. The same is true
for MDW -2. The data bit is not used for receive­
data ope ra tions . Parity. This bit is set to provide odd parity for
each main data word (MDW-1 and MDW-2). SPECIAL FEATURES SUMMARY Following is a summary of all special features
offered for the 2703. These features are listed in
three distinct groups: general--pertaining to both
start/ stop and synchronous type operations; start/
stop type operations exclusively; and synchronous
type operations exclusively. The feature number is
provided with each feature as a means of positive
identification, as well as for future reference
purposes.
In addition, the features within the general group
are described in detail. For detailed information
pertaining to features exclusive to either start/stop
or synchronous operations, check the special­
features paragraphs in the start/stop and synchronous
portions of this manual.
