7404A-1 - Control Monitor Test Set (Oscar)
Allows monitoring or injection of CCCS bus signals

CCCS = Communication Computation Control System

  • Clock = Continuous sine-wave at 4800Hz
  • Control = Computer talking to equipment
  • Logic Level High = in-phase with Clock
  • Logic Level Low = out-of-phase with Clock
  • Monitor = Equipment talking back to computer

Back of Unit:

  • S1 UP, in Sine Wave at all times
  • S2, In LCU for use as local control, in DCU/DCFR for simulating equipment
  • P2, P3, P4 Not used
  • P5, DCU/DCFE
  • P6, LCU Sine Wave / use in conjunction with S2
  • F1, Fuse

Front of Unit:

  • Clear button - NEVER USED
  • Send button - Sends control word ONCE
  • 32 toggle switches
  • Dialogic bit must be 1 all the time
  • S3, Parity Encode, leave in Auto (UP)
  • S4, Parity Mode, sensed (UP)
  • S5, Retransmit (3-position), Use in Continuous (UP)
  • S6, Address length, 7-bit for Local Control, 5-bit for DCU/DCFE
  • S7, Half Duplex (HDX) / Full Duplex (FDX), Leave in Full Duplex (FDX)
