This method of error correction
is
used
in the 35754
and
is
accornplished by rneans
of logic
ctcuitry (A5lC4
through
IC6) on the Phase Detector
Assembly.
The
four

(A,

Pl
and P2)
and
thet opposites
(A',
B', Pl 'and P2')
are applied
to the crror

circuits.
The

circuits sense
any

the

states
listed
in
Table 4-3 and "set" or

the appropriate

to correct the error.

Since error
states must
be
present
for
a short
time
before
they can be
detected
and corrected,
they can
still
affect
the accuracy
of
phase
readings. Due
to the
effor
coIIection
scheme, however,
worst-case errors
are limited
