General Information
Introduction
The 98033A BCD Interface provides the Desktop Computer with capability to interface a
variety of instruments which have BCD information presented in bit-parallel, digit-parallel
form.
The interface contains circuits which, upon execution of a read command, triggers a device to
initiate a reading, waits for the device to signal that the data is available to read, and then
transfers the BCD data to the calculator in the form of 16 consecutive ASCII Characters. In
addition, the interface will operate in a mode which provides hardware interrupt capability.
