SD4020 Simulator Program for User: AASH01

R Brandwood

11 November 1975

Martin Ashworth from Sheffield requires a large amount of 4020 data tapes to be plotted onto microfiche.

A program has been set up with the default values as he requires them. This program is ASH;FICHE. It is dumped onto tape 802.

1. PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW

The output from the job will be directed to the 4020 operators. It will indicate the tape serial numbers and the sequence. They MUST be run in sequence.

TITLE     - The title is to be inserted by the operator, using the 
            jobname in the following manner. 

            TITLE/T2C3L3V1,1H1,1/ jobname $M$C
            TITLE/C C5L5V1,3H9,3/  NO.$4  1$ST


SWITCH 8  - Is to be set up.

CAMERA    - MICROFICHE 48X

TAPES     - The tape drive should be cleaned before each tape is loaded. 
            Use a SKIP/ to move past the 1900 header label, then 
            GO/ on the first tap2 and 
            CONTINUE/ for the remaining tapes. 
            Each tape takes approximately 30 minutes to plot.

2. TREATMENT OF TAPE FAILS

Copy the tape on the 1906A, using NUTS COPY and run the job under user :.AASH01.

Restart the program with a fresh TITLE command and indicating the sequence number to start on. Each tape generates 4 fiche, therefore, if the second tape fails the new title would be:

TITLE/T2C3L3V1,1H1,1/ jobname $MSC
TITLE/C C5L5V1,3H9,3/ NO.$4   5$T

Use a SKIP/2 to move over the 1900 header label and filemark then GO/ to restart the job.

Return all output to the user in the normal manner.
