The program has no fixed parameters. The entire test plan is determined by the operator. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS: PDP-11 computer with 8KW of memory, TM03 controller and 1-8 tape units (TE16, TU77) OPERATING PROCEDURES: - load and start program at 200 or 240 - set desired switches - answer the questions: register start: 172440 vector address: 224 drive number: (0-7) slave number: (0-7) density: (3-4) 3=800BPI, 4=1600BPI parity: (0 or 1) 0=odd, 1=even format: (14-16) 14=normal, 15=core dump, 16=IBM slave number: (0-7) if no more just CR record count: 100 (1-177777) character count: 200 (20-4000) pattern number: 1 (0-15) tape mark = 0 (0 or 1) interchange read=0 (0=normal, 1=inter change) single pass = 0 (0 or 1) enter stalls: read = 1 } 1-177777 write = 1 } each increment turn around = 1 } is 2,6 uSec.

ZTEE - TE16/TU77/TM03 drive function timer ABSTRACT: This program will check both the logic generated time delays and the distances traveled by the tape. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS: PDP-11 computer with 4KW of memory, TM03 controller and 1-8 tape units (TE16, TU77) OPERATING PROCEDURES: - load and start program at 200 - set desired switches - answer the questions: first address of controller: 172440 (STD) TM03 drive #'s to be tested: ALL (or 0-7) for TM03 drive X type slave #'s to be tested: ALL (or 0-7) speed tests (yes/no) : no - the program will begin timing functions.
