Keyboard 
Wiring 
Table 
6-19 
indicates which waveforms in Figure 
6-11 
are 
seen on  keyboard inputs to 
U212 
when  each front panel 
button is pressed and held. For example, if the SRQ button 
is  pressed  and  held,  an  inverted  version  of  STROBE 
ZERO 
waveform  is applied to 
U212-38. 
If  range  button 
"20" 
is pressed then inverted STROBE ONE is applied to 
U212-1, 
and 
so 
forth. Note that these waveforms are very 
noisy  with  many  spikes. That  is normal.  Compare these 
waveforms with  normal  STROBE  ZERO  at 
U215-8.

ANALOG 
CONTROL 
SIGNALS 
Table 
6-20 
is useful  for  determining whether  the correct 
digital  signals  are  being  applied  to  the  analog  control 
devices indicated.  Since most  of  these devices (the quad 
analog switches 
in particular)  have no  digital  outputs,  it 
cannot 
be 
determined directly whether the correct pattern 
is  being  latched.  That  determination  must  be  made 
indirectly 
by 
analog means. Nevertheless, it is valuable to 
know whether the correct digital signals 
are 
reaching those 
devices. 
Correct operation of  8-bit latch U803, situated on the True 
RMS  AC  PCA  (Option 
-09 
only),  can  be  determined
