Functional Block Descriptions
This section provides you with information about how assemblies and
modules work together in groups to provide the functions and signals
described in the simplified functional description.
Figure 3-2 is an overall block diagram of the 5071A that shows all assemblies
and modules within the six functional blocks. The blocks and their
assembly/module components and connections are discussed and tabulated
in approximate order of signal flow within each block.
