PREFACE
This is the only manual you need to maintain the
IBM 3742 Dual Data Station. The manual contains
theory, operation proced u res, MAPs, and removereplace-and-adjust procedures. It also contains
part numbers for the field replaceable units (FRUs).
All the information is in an easy-to-use graphic
format.

The starting point for each cal I is on page 1-1. Page
1-1 directs you to the Symptom Index. The
Symtom Index in turn, based on the symptom,
directs you to a MAP section. If the MAP does not
lead you to the cause of the trouble, go back to
the Symptom Index to look for another MAP. If
if symptom changes during machine warmup, use
the last symptom to start the call. If there are no
specific symptoms to guide you, use the Machine
Checkout procedure.
Each MAP section contains step-by-step procedures
to locate the failing part, and the remove-replaceand-adjust procedures to correct machine malfunction.

MAP Rules Summary

First Edition (May 1977)

This publication replaces and obsoletes the part-numbered manual previously used with
the 3742. A checkout procedure of the phototransistor in the diskette drive has been
added to MAP 2-8. Changes concerning the file control card and several minor changes
were also made throughout the manual.
Changes are periodically made to the information herein; any such change will be
reported in subsequent revisions or technical newsletters.

Start of Call (page 1-') insures that the highest
priority symptom index group is used.
Use the most consistent symptom after power
on. Use the last error code to be displayed.
MAPs are designed to locate an F R U that has
a single mechnical or electrical failure. If the
symptom changes after an adjustment or
F R U replacement, use Start of Call with the
new symptom.
If you cannot decide which MAP to use, see
Machine Checkout (page 7-1 .1) to gu ide you
to the right MAP.
When asked to probe or measure multiple
points in a table, probe or measure only until
a failure is indicated.
The probe UP and DOWN lights will
momentarily flash on during power on if the
probe is connected to its machine power source
please ignore.

CRT SAFETY

To ensure personal safety and the safety of coworkers, each CE should make it a practice to
observe safety precautions at all times. The CE
Safety Practice card is reproduced below for
your reference.

You must be especially aware of the dangerous
voltage present in a 3742 and the potential
hazard presented by an unprotected cathode ray
tube (CRT). Thus, the following DANGER notice
appears here.
DANGER
Voltages of 12,000,400, +12 and -12 in the
3742. Be careful when working in the area of
the high voltage power supply and CRTs. Do
not remove the high voltage lead from the CRT
following power off until the high voltage lead
and anode have been grounded.

CE SAFETY PRACTICES
All Customer Engineers are expected to take every safety pre·
caution possible and observe the following safety practices
while maintaining IBM equipment:
1. You should not work alone under hazardous conditions or
around equipment with dangerous voltage. Always advise
your manager if you MUST work alone.
2. Remove all power AC and DC when removing or assem·
bling maior components, working in immediate area of
power supplies, performing mechanical inspection of power
supplies and installing changes in machine circuitry.
3. Wall box power switch when turned off should be locked
or tagged in off position. "Do not Operate" tags, form
229·1266, affixed when applicable. Pull power supply cord
whenever possible.
4. When it is absolutely necessary to work on equipment hav·
ing exposed operating mechanical parts or exposed live
electrical circuitry anywhere in the machine, the following
precautions must be followed:
a. Another person familiar with power off controls must
be in immediate vicinity.
b. Rings, wrist watches, chains, bracelets, metal cuff links,
sholl not be worn.
c. Only insulated pliers and screwdrivers shall be used.
d. Keep one hand in pocket.
e. When using test instruments be certain controls are set
correctly and proper capacity, insulated probes are used.
f. Avoid contacting ground potential (metal floor strips,
machine frames, etc. - use suitable rubber mots pur·
chased locally if necessary).
5. Safety Glosses must be worn when:
a. Using a hammer to drive pins, riveting, staking, etc.
b. Power hand drilling, reaming, grinding, etc.
c. Using spring hooks, attaching springs.
d. Soldering, wire cutting, removing steel bands,
e. Parts cleaning, using solvents, sprays, cleaners, chemicals,
etc.
f. All other conditions that may be hazardous to your
eyes. REMEMBER, THEY ARE YOUR EYES.
6. Special safety instructions such as handling Cathode Ray
Tubes and extreme high voltages, must be followed as
outlined in CEM's and Safety Section of the Maintenance
Manuals.
7. Do not use solvents, chemicals, greases or oils that have
not been approved by IBM.
8. Avoid using tools or test equipment thot have not been
approved by IBM.
9. Replace worn or broken tools and test equipment.
10. The maximum load to be lifted is that which in. the opinion
of yOu and management does not jeopaldize your own health
or well-being or that of other employees.
1 I. All safety devices such as guards, shields, signs, ground
wires, etc. shall be restored after maintenance.
KNOWING SAFETY RULES IS NOT ENOUGH
AN UNSAFE ACT WILL INEVITABLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT
USE GOOD JUDGMENT - ELIMINATE UNSAFE ACTS
11171 S229·1264-2

12. Each Customer Engineer is responsible to be certain that
no action on his part renders product unsafe or exposes
hazards to customer personnel.
13. Place removed machine covers in a safe out-of-the-way
place where no one can trip over them.
14. All machine covers must be in place before machine is returned to customer.
1S. Always place CE tool kit away from walk areas where n,
one can trip over it (i.e., under desk or table).
16. Avoid touching mechanical moving parts (i.e., when lubricating, checking for play, etc.).
17. When using stroboscope - do not touch ANYTHING - it
may be moving.
18. Avoid wearing loose clothing that may be caught in machir
ery. Shirt sleeves must be left buttoned or rolled above the
elbow.
19. Ties must be tucked in sh irt or have a tie clasp (preferably
nonconductive) approximately 3 inches from end. Tie chains
are not recommended.
20. Before starting equipment, make certain fellow CE's ond
customer personnel ore not in a hazardous position.
21. Maintain good housekeeping in orea of machines while per·
forming and after completing maintenance.

All CEs should become familiar with the general
safety practices and procedures for performing
artificial respiration that are outlined in CE
Safety Practices (form 229-1264). In addition,
each CE should review general safety CEM #45
on CRT safety.

Cathode ray tubes contain a high vacuum and are
subject to implosion. Such an implosion can
propel flying glass, thus presenting a source of
personal injury. Therefore, when handling CRTs,
be careful.

Tubes must be kept in the carton or unit
except when exposure is required for
inspection or test.

2.

Adequate storage area must be provided for
all CRTs. Tubes should be stacked in such
a manner that they cannot easily be tipped
over and will not be a problem to handle
when removed from the stack. It is recommended that the storage area be away from
the normal flow of internal trucking and
pedestrian traffic.

Testing
Personnel who test CRTs must be instructed in the
dangers and precautions to be observed.

Storage

2.

Persons handling or working with or near unprotected CRTs must wear safety glasses.

Defective CRT Disposition
No attempt should be made to repair defective
CRTs in the field. A defective CRT should be
properly packed and disposed of in accordance
with CRT disposition procedures.

Cathode ray tubes must be enclosed when
received, transported, or otherwise moved
from area to area. If they are shipped in a
carton, they must be in the original carton
or one of equivalent strength and securely
sealed to prevent accidental opening. Also,
original or equivalent packing materials
and/or forms must be placed inside the
carton to properly support and protect the
tube. If tubes are transported in a unit or
piece of equipment, the equipment must be
able to contai~ the glass fragments if an
implosion occurs.
Each CRT carton must be identified with

a DANGER Cathode Ray Tube Implosion
HAZARD label.

3.

All persons handling tubes or in the vicinity
of exposed CRTs under vacuum must wear
safety glasses.

HOW TO USE THE DISPLAY UNIT
SYMPTOMS

DISPLAY UNIT SYMPTOMS
-

If you are aware of the display unit symptom
terms and the directions on this page, continue
with the next command. Otherwise, review the
information contained in the adjacent columns
and then continue here.
The diskettes can be either unloaded or loaded.
(Loaded is preferred.)
- Remove the viewer.
- Turn up the brightness control (observe the
caution in the next column).
Look for a correct raster as shown. For this
decision, disregard any characters that might
also be evident within the raster.

The following 7 pages contain descriptions and
pictures of symptoms to direct you to the correct MAP to use for diagnosis.

Read the symptom description with each picture
to understand the illustration and any variations
that could be applicable.

1-

•

•••••

-I

x w,

Is the raster (relative size, position, and number
of lines) as shown; and does the brightness remain stable?

Y N
-

Review the symptoms, starting with 1 on the
next page, until the most similar symptom
is found. Use the MAP indicated.

Return the brightness control to normal.
Data may be entered, but is not required.
Are characters displayed and are they free of
distortion?
YN
- Review the symptoms, starting with 15,
until the most similar symptom is found.
Use the MAP ind icated.
Review the symptoms, starting with 24, until
. the most similar symptom is found. Use the
MAP indicated.

Cathode ray tube (display).

Blank CRT:

The display looks like power is off.

Blooms:

The entire display appears to glow
or the raster is excessively bright.

Brightness:

The amount of light emitted from
the raster.

Character:

All letters, numbers, special symbols, and the cursor, formed by a
series of small dots.

Deflection:

The vertical, horizontal, and wiggle
sweeps needed to form the 6 lines,
the line lengths and the li.ne height .

Raster:

The bright area of 6 Iines, each
about 0.2 inch (5.1 mm) high by
from 3.5 to 5.5 inches (88.9 to
139.7 mm) long, caused by the
deflection circuits. (On some CRTs,
a raster might not be displayed
except with the CE pins jumpered.
This is due to gain variations between
CRTs.)

Retrace:

The return trace for the deflection
sweeps.

Video:

Pulses, which are intensi~ied dots,
that result in characters.

For some symptoms, it could be necessary to turn
the brightness control up to observe the symptoms.

•

•••••

CRT:

The symptoms are numbered to indicate the
priority sequence and to allow referencing.

CAUTION:

DISPLAY UNIT GLOSSARY

Never make CRT tube face glow
or bloom. Return brightness
control to normal before proceeding into the MAPs.

Symptoms of display trouble are not readily
illustrated exactly; each display symptom is an
individual. Therefore, when using the following
index, attempt to locate a picture or descriptive
symptom that is similar to (not necessarily the
same as) what you saw displayed.
If any of more than 1 picture might be the right
one, see if they all use the same MAP . .If so, no
need to choose; just go to that MAP.
The correct MAP or procedure to use follows each
picture.
Regardless of the starting point, itis necessary to
compare all succeeding display symptoms up to the
one that is similar to one you have. If no similar
display can be found, use the Display General
MAP following the last picture.

All display symptoms are shown with the viewer
removed, and viewed from the key station 1
operator position.
Most of the symptoms are shown with the diskettes loaded. However, the symptom may be
used as you first found it (unloaded, loaded, or
with data), while being aware of the difference
this makes on the display .

MAP 2-2 -

This MAP will help find read check problems
or disk-address-wrong problems.

The purpose of this section of the MAP is to
help you determine which machine, disk drive, or
diskette is the cause of the failure when it appears
many machines or diskettes are involved.
Several conditions can exist:
1.

Diskettes written on a failing drive can
cause other machines to fail while the
failing machine appears OK to the
operator.

2.

A drive with bad write current will
cause failures on other machines and
mayor may not fail itself.

3.

A poor quality diskette that causes
failures on some or all machines.

In condition 1, a drive with a head partially out
of adjustment will normally read a diskette that
it has written since head alignment is not critical
as long as diskettes are written and read on the
same machine.
Has the failing disk drive been determined?
Y N
- To isolate the failing drive, use the CE
diskette on machines that you know
appear error free (error code 2 or 4).
Load CE diskette in disk drive to be checked.
Press REC ADV.
Press FUNCT SEL lower.
Press UPDATE.
Can a pair of matching record messages be
read correctly from tracks 06, 07,08 and 09?
Y N
Power down.
Adjust the head (208).
Verify the adjusJment with CE diskette.

Use of the test diskette is to locate' head alignment problems.

If disk drive 2 is being checked, swap disk
signal cables in positions J and Kat MPU.
Cables must be restored to original position
upon completion of this test (212A).
- See MAP 2-11 for additional expianations. (A
single pair of matching records per track is sufficient. Increment to the next track when one
good pair is found.)

3742 ML

2-2.1

2-2.2

Does the machine still fail?
Y N
- The head was out of adjustment.
Is this the first drive you are isolating?
Y N
Read the data written on the prior
disk drive unit. Use update mode.
Does the data read error free?

YN
The drive that wrote the data is
failing when writing. Return to that
drive and use disk MAP 2-4.
Use a known good diskette.
Enter at least one record taking care
not to destroy customer data. Remember the location of this record; you need
to read it on another drive.
Have all drives been tested?
Y N
Return to the start of this MAP and
test another suspect drive.
Check for a possible defective diskette in use.
Use MAP 2-1.
Check to see if you can find anyone of the
following defects in the problem/suspect
disk drive unit:
1.

Belt-off or damaged (216K).

2.

Pulley (2)-loose (2160 and G).

3.

Idler assembly-defective mechanical
operation (216E).

4.

Drive motor-bindi~g or sticking
(216N).

5.

Cover or cover pivot (2)-loose or
broken (224E).

Is the disk drive in the failing station free of all
the listed defects?
Y N
Repair OJ replace the faulty part.
- Verify the fix.

D E

Locates defective writing by writing a record
on one drive and readingthat record on
another drive.

Does the machine stitt fail?
Y N
Select the proper I R code and cause code
for the faulty part from the charts.

Can you make the machine fail?
Y N
When the failure is intermittent, perform the
following steps one on each call, unti I the
problem is solved.
Record the date of each action.
Vibrate the machine to try to cause the
failure.
Check the room temperature and humidity
and compare them to Installation Procedures,
page 16-1.
Check the dc voltages at the disk FC card
(204A) with respect to frame ground.

The following service aids for
1.
STICKING/BINDING KEYS
2.
CLICKER OPERATION
are to inform you of problems and corrections not
necessarily in the MAPs. Use these service aids as
required for failing keyboard(s).
1. STICKINGIBINDING KEYS
Sticking/binding keys can occur due to a design
problem. This problem is more acute when
striking the keys at an angle (normal key
operation). Due to the plane of the keyboard,
the top row of keys are affected the most. The
right adjust key and space bar are very sensitive
because both keys use two modules.
The best fix is to replace the module.
An alternate fix is to rotate the module 180
degrees.

To test the·machine's ability to accept input
at high speed (such as when rolling keys), hold
down- four data keys and the repeat key
simultaneously.' Two or three keys (depending
on the keys pressed) should alternately enter,
repetitively to the end of the record, without
an error. If an error results, or if the machine
fails to function as stated, replace the keyboard
PC board.

E

2. CLICKER OPERATION

The operation of the cl icker can also affect the
throughput. It usually results in complaints that
the keys are hard to press. The purpose of the
clicker is to indicate to the operator that the
MPU accepted the character keyed. It also
indicates to the operator when data is being
transferred from current buffer to previous buffer.
Any attempt to remove the clicker can result in
more serious problems.
serious problems.

I

Is mechanical operation correct?

~

Replace clicker (410).

The clicking noise from the disk
drive head load actuator has also
caused the operator to reduce
speed. This is especially true
when keying short records. The
operator mistakenly feels they
have to wait for the disk drive
to complete the write operation.

For the intermittent problem, perform the
following steps, one on each call, until the
problem is corrected.
Record the date of each step.
Unadjustable brightness and failure to blank
the CRT display can be intermittent because
of a failing CRT. Vibration or powering up
and down can remove the symptoms tern·
porarily. Under this condition:
- Power down.
Ground the CRT higb voltage anode
(304A).
Replace the chassis and CRT assembly

Adjust the yoke (304F, 311).
Verify the fix.
DATE :1r---'I--r---,

This MAP helps you locate problems with un·
controllable brightness with video (characters)
present. Brightness on the CRT is controlled
from the 400 V dc output of the converter. The
brightness control forms part of a voltage divid~r from the 400 Vdc supply to ground. Turning the brightness control changes the voltage
applied to the video amplifier. This changes
the bias on the CRT, which regulates the electron flow to the face of the CRT and changes
the brightness.

Vibrate the machine to cause the failure.

blank CRT. A blank CRT indicates that the
electron beam is not reaching the face of the

This MAP helps you locate CRT yoke coils
and the deflection circuits problems.
The wiggle sweep circuit moves the electron
beam up and down to give the characters
height. Control pulses are generated by the
MPU, sent to the display PC board, amplified,
and used to drive current through the character
yoke. This current generates the magnetic field
to move the electron beam.
The vertical sweep circuit positions the electron
beam vertically on the face of the CRT. This
positioning provides the six lines on the display.
Vertical inputs are generated by the MPU, sent
to the display PC board, amplified, and used to
drive current through the vertical yoke. This
current generates the magnetic field to move
the electron beam.
The horizontal sweep circuit moves the electron
beam in a horizontal line across the face of the
CRT. The MPU generates horizontal input pulses.
These pulses trigger amplifiers on the display PC
board. These amplifiers drive current through
the two horizontal yoke windings. This current
generates the magnetic field to move the electron beam. The magnetic field from each winding moves the beam halfway.
No horizontal or vertical deflection causes
a spot on the screen.
A failure of the horizontal sweep circuit causes
characters to be distorted at the edge of the display. The failure causes the sweep to be nonlinear at the ends. A bad yoke assembly or incorrect drive current through the yoke assembly can cause the problem.

This MAP helps you locate a problem of low
voltage output of the high voltage power supply.
A very large display is caused when the high
voltage applied to the CRT anode is low. When
this voltage is low, the electron beam moves
slower toward the face of the CRT. This permits
the magnetic field developed by the yoke to deflect the beam a greater distance. The high
voltage oscillator on the display PC board provides the drive pulses to the converter. The
converter changes these pulses to 400 Vdc for
brightness control and the high voltage for the
anode lead.

The following service aids for
1. STICKING/BINDING KEYS
2. EXTRA CHARACTERS
are to inform you of problems and corrections
not necessarily in the MAPs. Use these service
aids as required.

1. STICKING/BINDING KEYS
Sticking/binding keys can occur due to a
design problem. This problem is more acute
when striking the keys at an angle (normal
key operation). Due to the plane of the
keyboard, the top row of keys are affected
the most. The right adjust key and space bar
are very sensitive because both keys use two
modules.

Key Module Differences

Nonbinding Key Module

New modules are white and have a different part
number. PIN 1643192 is used in all positions
except the right adjust key. For positions that
do not require a flyplate, use the same PIN
1643192 and remove the flyplate.

The best fix is to replace the module.
Right Adjust Key Position

There are two styles of right adjust keys. One
(old style) uses two modules, and the new style
uses one module. The new style uses module
1643192 (same as all other positions). The old
style uses module 5183447. The only difference
between the two parts is the key stem spring.
PIN 5183447 uses a lighter spring to compensate
for using two modules for one key. For the position not requiring a flyplate on the old style, use
PIN 5183447 and remove the flyplate.

with PC board at EC 310084. This field B/M (EC
823177) will provide a complete keyboard
assembly.
A field B/M will be provided to update keyboards
with PC boards at EC 309728 and 309786. This
B/M (EC 825709) will provide all contamination shields and 10 new modules for critical
positions.

An alternate fix is to rotate the modules 180
degrees.
An ECA will be released to provide a new
keyboard assembly. This keyboard assembly
will include the latest level PC board, dust
seals and improved key modules.
To test the machine's ability to accept input
at high speed (such as when rolling keys),
hold down four data keys and the Repeat
key simultaneously. Two or three keys
(depending on the keys pressed) should
alternately enter, repetitively to the end of
the record, without an error. If an error
results, or if the machine fails to function
as stated, replace the keyboard PC board.
2. EXTRA CHARACTERS
A quick check to determine a failing data
key is to hold down the repeat key with a
diskette loaded and observe the display.
The PC board must be cleaned with a
lint-free cloth and alcohol or tape cleaner.
Any contamination over 0.001 inch (0.02
mm) thick will cause failures on PC boards
at EC level 310084.
New level PC boards (EC 309728 and
3(07868) have been desensitized and will
allow contamination of .005 to .007 inch
before failing. An ECA will be released to
provide a new keyboard assembly. This
keyboard assembly will include the
latest level PC board, dust seals and
improved key modules.
EC and part number are either in the upper
left hand corner of the PC board or on the
signal cable connector.

MAP 4-7

INCORRECT ONLINE FIELD TOTALS

Online field totals errors can result from seeningly correct operator procedures. There are
restrictions relative to record backspace, record
advance, and program selection. The restrictions
are shown below and should be used to ensure
the failure is not caused by violations. Additional information about online field totals
can be found on page 9-22.
If the problem cannot be isolated using this
information, use MAP 4-4.

-

The following steps detail a seemingly correct
operator procedure which is one example of
causing a field totals error.

1.

The operator fails to select a program at
the beginning of a job. (The machine is
now in program level 0.)

2.

The operator enters some data before
remembering to select a program. Assume
a 123 is keyed. This will display as UIO
since the program is in alpha shift.

3.

The operator backspaces to the beginning of the record and selects the correct
program.

4.

If the selected program has a 4 position
field total program in program position 1,
the machine will subtract what was keyed
in step 2 (the numeric portion of U 10
which is 496).

5.

The operator now keys in the correct
data, 123, etc. The value in the accumulator is now the difference between the
two keying operations (373, etc).

Restrictions
To ensure the accuracy of the field total in the
accumulator, remember the following restrictions.
When using more than one program to process
a record, all programs used must have identical
field total fields.
When deleting a record or backspacing to a
previous record from a partially entered,
updated, or verified record, select the same
program for deleting and backspacing over
the record that was used to create that
record.
A field programmed to have the contents
of an accumulator read into it must be
preceded by at least one programmed manual
field and must not be followed within the
same record by a field totals field relating to
that accumulator.
Backspacing over a previous record with a
field programmed to have an accumulator
read into it is not allowed.

Example of Violation

The correct operation to prevent this
error is to press FUNCT SEL and
DELETE REC prior to selecting the
correct program in step 3.

A

3742 ML

II

4-7.1

4-7.2

After updating a record, deleting a record, or
correcting a record in the verify mode, all
succeeding fields programmed to accept in
accumulator total that were affected by the
operation must be executed. To execute this
field total operation, record advance to the
record that the accumulator is to be read
into, select the correct program level, and
field advance over the field that is to contain
the total.
In update mode, a field that is to have a
total read into it is not executed if REC
ADV is pressed before the cursor enters
that field.
Selection of second disk functions, communications functions, and print functions
other than print record should be avoided to
maintain online field total integrity.
Program load functions should be done
under program level 0 to maintain online
field totals integrity.

MAPS 4-8 A THROUGH F

MAP 4-8A NO SELF-CHECK ERROR
(MODULUS 10)

No Self Check Error (Modulus 10)
It is possible to fail to ind icate a C self-check
error using modulus 10. This situation occurs
when all the following conditions are met.
1. Program numeric switch set to numbers
only.
2. The self check digit is zero.
3. The operator fails to key enough numerical
data to fill the self-check field, and then
enters an alpha character in the last position.

MAP 4-S8 OFFLINE FIELD TOTALS FAILS
TO FUNCTION

Field Totals Fails to Function
Offline field totals cannot be selected after a disk
copy if during disk copy a deleted record was
encountered. To correct, press rest then select
offline field totals.
If the problem cannot be isolated using this
information, use MAP 4-2.

MAP 4-SC DISK COpy MISSING/EXTRA
RECORDS

Disk Copy - Missing/Extra Records
-

Missing or extra record may occur during
disk copy using diskettes initialized with
alternate record sequence. Records are
located on the diskette in the following
sequence:
1,3,5.... 25,2,4,6 .... 24.
This will be corrected on an EC.
If the problem cannot be isolated using this
information, use MAP 4-2.

4-8.2
MAP 4-80 RECORD COUNT WRONG

Record Count Wrong
Record counts can be different when entering or
verifying the same job. Some examples are as
follows:
If the operator enters a record on the disk
(record count adds 1) and then decides to
change the record, the act of changing and
recording it on the disk causes another record
count. In effect, for one rcord on the disk the
record count is two. When this record is
verified, it counts as one record.
The same is true during verification; if a record
is verified and then the operator decides to
change the data, the machine counts this as
two re.cords processed.
The record counter counts the number of
records processed in enter, update and verify
modes. The maximum count is 65,535,. the
counter then resets to zero. In enter mode
every RECADV is counted. In update mode
every REC ADV is counted if any data is
keyed or auto dupli~ated. In verify mode a
REC ADV is counted if any data has been
verified or auto verified.
If the above information does not solve the
problem, use MAP 4-4.

MAP 4-8E ALTERED OR MISSING DATA

ALTERED or MISSING DATA
Caution must be used when using diskettes
having file protected data sets. The machine
can write over protected data if the extents
for the nonprotected data set overlaps with
a protected data set. For example:

the example, the machine is unaware it may be
writing in a protected area.

CONTENT DISK 2

Search sequential content works on disk 1, with
the complete 64-character set (421). This is not
true, however, for disk 2 on some machines.
The character set is divided into two groups;
27 characters (blank through "), and 43 characters (: through 9). Data, to be successfully
searched on disk 2, must contain characters from
one group; either one but not both.
If the data meets requirements, and the machine
still fails, use MAP 4-2.
If you have one of these machines, and it is a

MAP 6-7 -

- This MAP helps you locate dc voltage distribution problems.

General Power Distribution Information
-Use this MAP for free-lance fault-finding
instead of the normal directed procedure. If
you have any problem using this MAP, use
MAP 6-4.
Read through this MAP. Then use 610,
which is an easy to understand layout of the
power-distribution. Make point-to-point
measurements to locate an open or overloaded
circuit.
Power distribution to the units can be either
through the MPU planar lands or directly
from the power supply PC board. - Some voltages are on multiple wires in
the cables.
- Some voltages are used only on a specific
unit.
- Cables to the units contain both voltages
and signals.
- Probing cross connectors could require
using an exposed pin, rather than the
actual circuit pin shown.
Power down to disconnect or reconnect any
of the cables.
Be sure you reconnect all the cables when
you are done.

Unit locations are:
Disk FC card (204)
CRT (304)
Keyboard (407)
MPU and features (504)
Power supply (604)

General References Information

To Locate an Open Circuit (Missing Voltage)
- While using MAP 6-1, the power supply de
cable output voltages could have been OK.
But, one or more of these voltages could have
been missing at a specific unit while using the
MAP for that unit. - Use either continuity or voltage checks to
locate the open circuit per 610.
- Repair or replace the failing FRU.

Unit locations are:
Disk FC card (204)
- CRT (304)
Keyboard (407)
MPU and features (504)
Power supply (604)

To Locate an Overloaded Circuit
This is when the voltage is OK unloaded but is
low when loaded.
Use a voltage check to determine any difference between the failing voltage when
measured at the power supply fuse or the
test point as shown in 610 and the measurement at the unit with all the cables connected. If the voltage is normal at the power supply
but low at the load, a resistance within the
circuit is dropping the voltage. Use the CE
meter to locate the F RU causing the failure,
by progressing along the circuit with voltage
checks at each test point.
- If the voltage is low at the power supply
but no appreciable voltage difference exists
from the power supply to the load, replace
the load (the disk FC card, display PC board,
keyboard PC board, or a planar).

Unit locations are:
Disk FC card (204).

The diagnostic programs for CE display mode reside in a special section of ROS that can be used
independently of the machine functional ROS.
These diagnostic programs can be used separately
to cause the display of:
Disk speed
Disk track IDs
Display registers contents
Selecting the CE display mode cancels the previous
operator mode and all data in memory, such as
stored programs, production statistics, field totals,
and duplication data. CE display mode can be
selected from the following machine modes:
Read index
Update
Enter
- Search
- Verify and field correct

Selecting a Diagnostic Program
Select CE display mode (CER is displayed on the
status line) then press one of the keys shown in
the table below to select the desired diagnostic
program. CER mode and status changes to CEW,
and the results of the diagnostic are displayed.
Note: When selecting a diagnostic program for

disk 2, the NUM SHI FT must be pressed with
the proper program select key.

Selecting CE Display Mode
To select CE display mode, use the following
keying sequence:
FUNCT SEL lower.
NUM SHIFT (or ALPHA SHI FT) and the C

change.

To terminate a diagnostic program, press
RESET:
Note: RESET may have to be pressed more than

once to terminate the display registers diagnostic,
because the reset key code can be accepted in the
KBDA T A register only at ti mes other than when
that register is being periodically set to zero.
Termination of a diagnostic program is indicated
by a mode/status change from CEW to CER.
Now another diagnostic can be selected or CE
display mode can be terminated.

The diagnostic program desired can now be

DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAMS

Display Disk Speed
This diagnostic causes a line of digits to be displayed which can be used to calculate disk speed
in terms of milliseconds per revolution~ The diagnostic can be selected while at any track on the
disk as Ion!! as the first record of that track is
good (it can be a deleted record).
The display to cursor operation of the display
attachment is used, which means that no digits
are displayed at or beyond the cursor position.
The cursor moves as the disk speed varies. It
is normal that other data may appear lightly, at
short intervals, on the display.
To use the display disk speed diagnostic, select
CE display mode, and press the 0 key. The
display will look similar to this:

CEW

Status Line

Note: This diagnostic depends on the disk drive
being able to read the first record of any track on
a disk. A write check to record one command is
issued repeatedly. Write check causes the record
to be read each revolution. Rotational disk
speed computation is based on the frequency at
which record one is read.

A missing or unstable record one 10 results in a
blank or unstable disk speed display. In this case,
press the space bar (or any key except RESET,
SHIFT, or REPEAT) to advance to the next
track up on the disk and observe the IDs. If
record one 1.0 looks OK, use this track to display
disk speed by pressing RESET to get to CER
mode, then press the 0 key. If record one does
not look good on this track, either try a different
diskette or, if there is a problem with all diskettes, go to disk diagnostic MAPs.

If, after selection of this mode, disk speed is
not displayed, or disk speed displayed is unstable,
try the following:
Press RESET to terminate disk speed diagnostic.
Press J key to select display disk track lOs
diagnostic.
Look at the first three sets of four double
binary characters to determine if record one
ID (identifier) is present and stable. (The
first set of four double binary characters
should be the record one 10. Its characters may
have to be compared to the next two lOs in
order to identify it as record one.) The first
three IDs should look like this:

Service Applications

The display disk speed diagnostic can be used to:

The fir-st digit (0) displayed on the data line represents 150 milliseconds. Each digit in order to

To calculate disk rotational speed, count the digits
to the right of the first 0, up to the cursor, and
add 150. The example display shows 17 digits to
the right of the first 0 (1 through 0 = 10, 1 through
7 = 7). 150 + 17 = 167 milliseconds. This represents normal disk speed, which should be 167 ± 4
mi" iseconds.
To terminate the display disk speed diagnostic,
press RESET once to return to CER mode.
Another diagnostic can now be selected, or an
exit from CE display mode can be made by
pressing RESET a second time.

Repetitious Read

This could be a machine which has a disk drive
running at a disk speed either higher or lower
than the normal Ii mits. Disks written on or initialized by the out-of-spec machine will work well
in that machine, and may work OK in some machines of the group. But, the out-of-spec disk may
not work well in other machines of the group
that are running in-spec at a speed (high or low)
opposite the out-of-spec machine.

Repeated reading record one of a particular track
allows the CE to look at the read amplifier or the
file data line with an oscilloscope.

Adjust Actuator Bail
Use the display disk speed diagnostic to keep the
disk drive head load actuator magnet energized
while adjusting the actuator bail.

The total display length increases if more IDs
are read during a disk revolution than were read
on any previous revolution, but the length does
not decrease due to a lesser nu mber of IDs read
on a subsequent revolution. Individual double
binary characters will look unstable if all track
IDs do not read correctly for each revolution of
the disk due to an I D shift to the left to replace
missing IDs. The total display will not shorten.

Display Disk Track IDs
This diagnostic causes the track and record IDs
(identifiers) to be displayed for the track in use
at the time the diagnostic is selected. The diagnostic can be selected while at any track on the
disk and does not depend on any of the IDs
either being present or good. This diagnostic can
also be used to cause the disk drive to seek up
or down one track at a time to cause display of
the I Ds of any track on the disk.

The head load magnet stays energized for continuous read mode while the display IDs diagnostic is operating.

To use the display track IDs diagnostic, install
an initialized diskette, select CE display mode,
and press the J key. The display will look simi-

Display to Cursor Operation
Digits should be displayed only up to the cursor
·position. A fault in the display-to-cursor operation would allow all 40 digits to appear on the
first data line with the cursor under one of the
digits.

IDs in the same order, it is possible to compare
a good track (one that displays all 26 IDs) to
the faulty track as a means of determining which
IDs are missing on the faulty track.

The cursor will show on the display in position
three. Its position is determined by the contents
of the sense register.
Each r~cord ID displayed contains four double
binary characters. Each track has 26 record locations, thus 104 (26 X 4) of the double binary
characters should be displayed. If an I D is
missing in a track, or cannot be read, the next
ID read will be displayed in its place, followed
by the rest of the IDs read. The result will be
a shortened total display length. For example,
if six IDs are missing in a track, only two lines
of double binary characters are displayed. To
determine the order in which the IDs were
placed on the track during disk initialization
one can decode the individual record I Ds. Since
all tracks on a particular disk will have their

Pressing the reset key retracks the read head and
the ID display goes blank. Pressing the J key
causes the read head to rescan the same track,
and the display to show the I Ds as they are read
on the first full read revolution.
On some machines, CE mode causes the display
to change as the number of IDs read changes.
If less than 26 are read on some revolutions, the
display seems to flash. If 26 IDs are read everytime, the display is stable. This dynamic mode of
operation allows observation of the number of IDs
read each disk revolution.
Disk I Ds may be displayed track by track while
this CE diagnostic mode is in control. To advance
up, away from the index track, press the space
bar (or any other key except RESET, SHI FT, or
REPEAT). To step down one track, press
ALPHA SH I FT and the space bar (or any other
key except RESET or REPEAT). The display
goes blank, and new IDs are displayed for each new
track selected.

Note: When using disk drive 2, NUM SHI FT
must be used with the keys specified above to
step up or down.

The rest of Table 2 shows the other record sequences that can occur in a track depending on the
digits written in positions 77 and 78 of record 07
of track 00 during initialization of a disk. All
tracks on any particular disk will have the same
record sequence.
To terminate the display disk track I Ds, press
RESET once to return to CER mode. Another
diagnostic can now be selected, or an exit from
CE display mode can be made by pressing RESET
a second time.
Note: Terminating CE display mode will cause
the machine to seek to track 00 of disk 1. If
disk 2 has been selected and it is desired to return
to track 00 of disk 2, first terminate CE display
mode by pressing RESET, then press FUNCT SEL

Service Applications
The display disk track IDs diagnostic can be used
to:

This diagnostic will keep the disk drive head load

purpose.)

Head Location
This diagnostic verifies actual head location by
reading the track number found in the IDs
displayed after a track selection has been made
from the index track, or a search has been keyed.
Table 1 shows track numbers. All track numbers
in a particular track must be identical.

Continuous Read
A continuous read of a particular track on a disk
allows the CE to look at the read amplifier on the
'file data' line with an oscilloscope.

Disk Track Record Order
All tracks on anyone disk, including the index
track (track 00), should have their records arranged in the same order. The order is determined
at the time of disk initialization by control digits
that are keyed by the operator in positions 7
and 8 of track 00. If positions 7 and 8 of the record are left blank, or if 01 is entered in those
positions, atl records in each track on that disk are
arranged in sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, through 26, as
shown by line 1 of Table 2. I.f 02 is entered in
positions 7 and 8, then all records in each track
on that disk are arranged, at ti me of in itialization, in the sequence shown by line two of Table
2. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25,
2,4,6,8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18,20,22,24,26.
Note that:
All record sequences start with record 01.
There are 13 different sequences possible.
When the next number in a sequence will
exceed 26 if the sequence is allowed to continue naturally, the machine will choose the
next unused number after 1 for that record
number and then continue the sequence
naturally. Example, line 07 of Table 2.
1, 8, 15, 22, 2, 9, 16, 23, 3, 10, etc.

Actuator Bail Adjustment

Missing IDs
If the display of IDs shows a lesser number than
26 (as shown to the right), the missing IDs can
be due to:
Accidental erasure.
Faulty track on the disk.
Uninitialized disk.
Weak read amplifier (faulty FC card).
Faulty VFO card.

Accidental erase and faulty tracks can be resolved
by reinitialization olthe disk. If at the end of
initialization, the number of bad tracks identified exceeds two, the disk should be discarded,
otherwise, it can be used only if a special operator procedure is used. An uninitialized disk would
display no IDs. Initialize that disk for use in the
machine.

Sense Register Operation

Sense Bit Definitions

The operation of the sense register is verified by
noting the position of the cursor in the ID display. During the display IDs diagnostic, the binary value of sense information stored in the sense
register each disk revolution controls the position
of the cursor in the display. For example, if
the track is good* and all IDs present are proper
length and have correct eRe (cycle redundancy
check) bytes, the cursor will display steadily under
the third double binary character from the left.
This is the normal cursor position for the display
ID diagnostic. If the track being read has no IDs,
the cursor will display under the first double binary
character position; or if a wrong eRe byte is
present in the track for any ID, the cursor will
display under the seventh double binary character.
*A good track is one that has no 15 double
15
decimal
10 characters written on it.

ii

An intermittent condition of reading no IDs or a
wrong eRe would cause the cursor to shift from
the third position in the display to the first or
seventh position intermittently.
The position of the cursor is determined by the
sum of the binary values of the sense bits set in
the sense register each disk revolution, according
to this table:

An '10 matched sense bit' (binary value 2)
is set each disk revolution that one or more
double binary I D characters is read from a
track. The 10 character may be any double
decimal value notation from Q. through !E..
o
15
A 'eRe error sense bit' (binary value 4) is
set if the eRC read in an I D field does not
match the CRC computed for that ID field.
A 'length error sense bit' (binary value 8)
is set if the number of double binary characters in an 10 exceeds 4.

The disk drive attachment control electronics
are exercised continuously during display disk
track IDs diagnostic mode. A read ID command has
to be issued every 6.41 milliseconds to read each
of the 26 IDs on the track every revolution of the
disk. Intermittently missing read 10 commands
would cause some of the displayed double binary
characters to look unstable in the same manner as
descri bed for missi ng IDs, page 8-4.

Try more than one diskette in this machine;
diskettes that read IDs OK in another machine.
Reinitialize one of the disks in another machine

The display disk track IDs diagnostic can show
the frequency of failure of the IDs in each track
of disk, and thus provide a relative guide to the
number of soft error machine retries to expect
for any given track. Reinitialize a suspect disk
and then display track IDs again. Don't forget
to try other diskettes in the same disk drive as a
comparison. Try the suspect disk in another
machine if available. The object here is to establish whether the machine or the disk is the
marginal or faulty one.

Check Track Accessing
See page 8-2 for how to move the head up or
down. Access to the upper or lower stop can be
caused by this method.

Keyboard Fourth Switch Test - Katakana
Machines

Display Registers
The diagnostic causes the contents of thirty
of the 8-bit registers to be displayed. Each
register will be represented by two alphameric
characters out of the group: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7,8,9, A, B, C, 0, E, and F. If all keyboard
toggle switches are in a down (off) position
and the machine is in the XR mode (initialized
diskette installed) when the CE mode is selected, then when the display register diagnostic is
selected, the display should look similar to
Figure 1.

The KAT AKANA SH IFT switch can be tested
by following the procedure outlined for Keyboard Switch Test, with these differences:
-_ The indication characters will be displayed
in register group 24 (fourth group from the
left in the top line for the 3742).
The switch off characters should be 00.
The switch on characters should be 20.
- A data key must be pressed several times to
test the switch function.

(The six highlighted registers should always be 00
for a properly operating machine. The other
registers will show their contents when the 1/U
key is pressed and may be different than shown
in Figure 1.)

FIGURE 1
The cursor will be displayed in the same position
that it was in when the CE display mode was
selected-CER mode.
The six highlighted registers in Figure 1 will
always be 00 at first selection of the diagnostic
if the machi ne is operating properly.
, The display registers diagnostic car. be used to:
- Test keyboard switches.
- Test keyboard keys.
- Test shift keys.
Test repeat keys.
- Test system error indicator.

-

- Observe the character displayed directly
above the cursor. It should be a O. If it is
not a 0, then a reason could be, (see below);
Not all of the switches were turned 'off'
before the CE Display Mode was selected.
Press the RESET key two or more times
until XR mode is displayed again and start
the test over.
One or more switches are stuck "ON"
electrically or are wired backwards.
- Switch wiring is shorted or PC board
land pattern lines are shorted.
- The register has one or more 'stuck' bits.

Keyboard Switch Test
Flip all keyboard toggle switches down (off).
Insert an initialized diskette in the disk drive
and close the drive cover. The machine should
go from XN to XR mode and display record
08 of track 00.
Use CHAR ADV to move the cursor out to
position 17 as shown by the position indicator.

should look similar to Figure 1. (The six highlighted registers should always be 00 for a
properly operating machine. The other registers will show their contents when the U key
is pressed and may be different than shown
, in Figure 1.)

8-10
If the character in position 17 above the cursor
is a 0, proceed with the switch test. Each
switch has a value of 2, 4, or 8 as shown in
Table 3. As the switches are turned on in sequence, their values will be additive in the
register and the display character will change
accordingly (for each good switch).
Note that the character:

A is the numeric
equivalent of 10.
C is the numeric
equivalent of 12.
E is the numeric
equivalent of 14.

Keyboard Key Test

- Insert an initialized diskette in the disk drive
and close the drive cover. The machine should
go from XN to XR mode and display record
08 of track 00.
Use CHAR ADV to move the cursor out to
position 14 as shown by the position indicator.
Both register positions 13 and 14 (register
group four) will be used in this test.
- Press FUNCT SE L lower (the right hand function select key).
Hold down NUM SH I FT and press the C key.
The machine mode and status should change
to CER.

The switches may be turned on in any sequence.
Turning a switch off while in the CEW or CER
modes should have no effect on the display
once the register has been set.

Press the U key. The machine mode and
status should change to CEW and the display
appear similar to the one below. (The six
highlighted registers should always be 00 for
a properly operating machine. The other registers will show their contents when the U key
is pressed and may be different than shown
below.)

An easy sequence to follow is to turn the
switches on (flip up) one at a time from left
to right. The character above the cursor in
position 17 should change from 0 to 8 to
A to E as each good switch is turned on.
For a sequence from right to I'eft, the character
above the cursor in position 17 should change
from 0 to 4 to 6 to E.
Anyone switch can be tested repeatedly by
terminating the CE display mode and then
starting the test over again. (Use Table 3 as
a reference.) The cursor doesn't have to be
moved to position 17 each time, but it does
help to spot the active register position.
RESET may have to be pressed more than
once to change from CEW to CE R mode because the keyboard data register is periodically reset by the diagnostic program and may
not accept the first RESET input.

Note: If the keyboard switch test indicates a bad
switch position the problem could be:
Switch fails to make or break. Check with
the CE ohmmeter.
Open or shorted wiring connections to the
keyboard PC board.
Broken, shorted, or open pin or land pattern on the keyboard PC board.

Observe the two characters displayed above
and to the left of the cursor. They should
be zero, (00). If they are not both 0, then
the reason could be:
A stuck key (fly plate, dirt on PC board,
etc.).
A faulty PC board.
The register has one or more stuck bits.
Test any key on the keyboard by pressing
it alone. Do not press RESET.
The shift keys and the repeat keys cannot
be tested alone.
A key may have to be pressed more than
once because the keyboard data register is
periodically reset by the diagnostic program
and may not accept the first key depression.
Observe the two characters that are displayed
for a particular key depression. They should
agree with the codes shown for that key in
the Key Codes Chart. If not, some possible
problems are:
Faulty key module.
Faulty keyboard PC board.
Faulty keyboard register.

Repeat Key Test

System Error Indication Test

Shift Key Test

The repeat (REP) key by itself will cause no
change in the display of registers and will not produce a keyboard click. REP, held down with another key, should cause the other key to be repetitively sampled to the register. The register will
accept the input at a time when it is not being
reset as previously explained. The display will
change once when the register accepts the input.
The keyboard should click repetitively while
the two keys are held down.

The object of this test is to try to set the error
bit in the proper register and see if the bit sets
and also if the error alarm conditions are implemented by the machine.

The left hand character of the two characters
displayed for key codes (position 13 in the display) should always be a 0, 1, 2, or 3 as shown in
the Key Codes Chart.

Start in XR mode .•
Use CHAR ADV to move the cursor out to
position 18.

- Press a key and check that the characters
displayed agree with the key code shown in
the Key Codes Chart for that key.
Hold NUM SHI FT down and press the same
key as in the previous steps. The left hand
character should increase by 4. See Table 4.

Select CER mode as described for the previous
test.
Press the U key to select display registers
program.

Hold ALPHA SH I FT down and press the
same keys as in the two previous steps. The
left hand character should again increase by
4. In effect, ALPHA SHIFT causes an increase
of 8. See Table 4.

Observe the character above the cursor in
position 18; it should be a zero (0).
Use the heel of your hand and press down
several keys on the keyboard to cause an
overrun error.

-

Hold KANA SYMB down and press the same
key as in the previous steps. The left hand
character should increase by 12 over the no
shift character. See Table 4.

The display should start flashing.
- The keyboard should go dead - no more clicks.
- There should a one (1) displayed above the
cursor in position 18.

Hold KANA SHIFT down and press the
same key as in the previous steps. The
indication characters will be displayed in
register group 24 (fourth group from the
left in the top line). The no Kana shift
condition is 00. The Kana shift is 20.

CE Pins' for Raster Display
The CE pins for raster display are located adjacent to the left side of the signal cable connec·
tor on the display PC board. One of the CE
pins is connected to the PC board ground. The
other CE pin is connected to the 'video signal'
line.
When the CE pins are connected together with
a jumper wire, the 'video signal' line is grounded,
thus preventing the display of characters on the
CRT.

To check the accuracy of the 15 volt dc range of
your voltmeter, measure the voltage drop across
the zener diode on the power supply PC board.
The zener diode has a closely controlled voltage
drop of 6 volts dc with power on.

CE Alignment Check Diskette PIN 2455026
HEAD ALIGNMENT SERVICE CHECK
TRACKS
The CE diskette has special tracks written on
its disk that can be used by the CE for a fast
service check of a disk drive unit to determine
if the unit has acceptable R/W head-to-track
alignment. This service check can be used to
quickly determine which disk drive unit out
of several needs R/W head adjustment to make it
compatible with the rest of the units.
An identifier field, called a disk track 10, is
written at the beginning of each record location
in every track when a disk is initialized. There
are 26 ID fields per track. Each 10 field has a
track number 10 and one of the 26 record number ID's for that track.

Data set label 00009 defines tracks 06 through 09
as HO ALIGN
Also, data set label 00018 defines tracks 12
through 15 as HO ALIGN.
Records and IDs are written off-track centerline on all twelve tracks, either OUT away from
the disk center hole, or. IN toward the disk
center hole. Tracks 11 through 16 are written
farther off-track than are tracks 05 through 10.

A.

The special tracks on the CE diskette disk are precision written in a manner that alternately offsets the 10 fields of each track a certain distance
from the track centerline. Special messages to the
CE are written in the 26 record areas of each track
(see Display Data Head Alignment Service
Check). Each record is off-set on the opposite
side of a track from its offset 10.

B.

Note that the phase zero position of the stepper
motor/leadscrew wheels corresponds to tracks 00,
04, oa, 12, etc.

C.

Typical Example for Successful Display of a Pair
of Matching Record Messages~'

1.

Odd numbered record IDs are written
OUT.
Even numbered record IDs are writtenl
IN.

2.

Odd numbered records are written
IN.
Even numbered records are written
OUT.

The total number of pairs of matching record
messages that can be read for anyone of the four
tracks gives an indication of two mechanical
condititons:

Tracks 06 through 09 (also tracks 12
through 15):

Tracks 05 and 11 (Guard Bands):
1.

Even numbered IDs are written
IN (toward track 06 or 12).
Odd numbered records are written
IN (toward track 06 or 12).

2.

No odd numbered IDs are written.
No even numbered records are written.

1.

Head location in reference to ~he track
centerline.

2.

How well the disk is centered while it
is clamped to the disk drive hub.

Tracks 10 and 16 (Guard Bands):
1.

Odd numbered IDs are written
OUT (toward track 09 or 15).
Even numbered records are written
OUT (toward track 09 or 15).

2.

No even numbered IDs are written.
No odd numbered records are written.

Track 00 through 04 and all tracks beyond track
16 are written with all 26 IDs on the centerline
of each track.
Data set label 00019 defines tracks 05 through 16
as HO ALIGN TRACKS. Actually, tracks 05,
10, 11, and 16 are head alignment guard band
tracks.

The guard ban tracks (05, 10, 11, and 16) have
only 1310's each. No record messages are displayable from the guard band tracks. 10's have
no corresponding records. (See Band C above.)

As explained above, each odd 10 is written OUT
and its corresponding odd record is written IN.
Each even 10 is written IN and its corresponding
even record is written OUT. Therefore, the cor·
rect display of a pair of matching record messages
results when the Read/Write head can read correctly an OUT 10 and its IN record, and then
180 0 away on the track can also read an IN
10 and its OUT record. (See figure 1)

Figure 1 shows the sequential order of the
IDs and records on the disk for anyone of
the above 8 tracks.

Since the disk drive stepper motor/leadscrew
wheels have four discrete stop positions each revolution, a set of four special tracks is provided so
that all wheel stop positions can be checked. These
tracks are located in track positions 06, 07,08,
and 09. A second set of four special tracks is
also provided. The IDs and records are written
more off-set than they are for the first set. Track
positions are 12, 13, 14; and 15.

Any two record messages of a matching pair (with
their corresponding IDs) are written on the disk
1800 from each other. (See Figure 1.)

Matching record messages refer to each other in
pairs, like record1 refers to record 2, and record
2 refers to record 1. Record 3 refers to record 4;
record 4 refers to record 3, and so on.

DISPLAY DATA HEAD ALIGNMENT
SERVICE CHECK

A correctly read and displayed record message
is one that:

Note: The machine must be operative enough to
be able to read and display track 00, and also to

1.

seek and to read other tracks on a disk. (This disk
does not detect a maladjusted lower-limit stop.)
Use the ML to troubleshoot machine malfunctions.

2.
3.

Remove the disk from the other disk unit.
Insert CE diskette in a disk drive and close the
drive cover.
Press REC ADV to get to data set tabel
00009, HDR1 HD ALIGN
Press FUNC SE llower
Press UPDATE

Can a pair of matching record messages be read
correctly from each of the four tracks?
Y N

Adjust the head (231).
Verify the adjustment with the test
diskette.

Dependent upon head alignment, the disk drive
mayor may not be able to read and match up
the first ID of track 06 with the first record
of track 06. If successful, the display will look
like this (cursor in position 001 for 128 feature
machines):

Is displayed immediately after REC ADV
or REC BKSP with no retries.
Has correct data contents.
Has track and record numbers in the record
that agree with the record counter in the
status line.

Head alignment is OK.
*To terminate the service check, press FUNC
SEllower followed by RETURN TO INDEX
key. The CE diskette may be removed from the
disk drive as soon as the data set label in track
00 is displayed.

4.

If the first direction is not successful, reselect (using the space bar) the same track
selected in step 1, and then manually turn
the disk drive stepper motor wheel a small
amount in a direction opposite to the first
direction to see if more ID's can be made to
display. You may have to try the above
steps more than once in order to find the
right setting of the stepper motor wheel.
Another way to refresh the display is to
press RESET once, then press the 4/J
key. The head carriage will not move in
this case.

Note: Some machines will have CE Mode
ROS that will cause the display to refresh
each disk revolution that 26 I D's are not
read. The display will seem to be flashing.
This is a dynamic mode of operation that
allows observation of the changing number
of ID's read as the head carriage is moved
manually. If all 26 I D's can be read cor·
rectly, the display will stop flashing.
If either step 3 or 4 is successful in displaying more
lO's correctly, (or all 26) the read/write head is
out of alignment. Do the read/write head adjustment outlined in service aid 231 of the Ml after
terminating this service check. (*)

DISPLAY DISK TRACK IDs HEAD

HEAD ALlGNMT OK IF RECORD 2 CAN BE READ ALIGNMENT SERVICE CHECK
If not successful, there will be a pause while
the machine is retrying, then an error will be
displayed for no record found (2) or read (4).
RESET the error and press REC ADV.

The objective of the alignment check is to
find a pair of "matching" record messages in
each alignment check track that read and display correctly. The tracks are 06, 07, 08,
and 09.
Matching record messages refer to each other
in pairs, like record 1 refers to record 2,
and record 2 refers to record 1. Record 3
refers to record 4; record 4 to record 3, and
so on. (See example above.)

If the disk drive does not pass the read/write head
alignment service check using the matching record
messages on the CE diskette, you may do the
following as a further check on head alignment:
1.

With the CE diskette installed, put the
machine into CE mode display disk track
IDs, and move the R/W head to track 12,
13, 14, or 15 by successively pressing the
space bar. (See CE Mode, page 8-1, for
details of CE mode operation and how to
interpret disk track IDs.)

2.

Remove or move the display mirror assembly
so that you can watch the display from the
rear of the machine.

3.

Now manually turn the disk drive stepper
motor wheel a small amount in one direc·
tion to see if more IDs can be made to
display for that track. Be sure the track
IDs the first character of each group of four,
do ~ot change to indicate an adja'cent track.

If neither step 3 or 4 is successful in displaying
more ID's correctly, the trouble is other than
read/write head alignment. Terminate this
service check (*) and return to a MAP in the Ml
based on the error code displayed or other symptom. Remember that you have checked read/write
head alignment only. Thatshouldn't be necessary
again until you are ready to verify a fix.

Service Notes
The special tracks on a CE diskette can be verified
for adequate signal amplitude and presence of
I D's and records if the read/write al ignment service check can be performed successfully in
another disk drive unit.
During the display disk track ID's head alignment
service check, if the read/write head is moved so
that no ID's are displayed, it will be necessary
to manually move the stepper motor wheel to
a point where at least one I D is displayed in order
to be able to step track by track with the space
bar. It may become necessary to remove the
diskette and press the RESET key so that the
disk drive accessing mechanism gets recalibrated
with the access control counter. If after reinstalling the diskette record 08 of track 00 is
not displayed, power down and wait five seconds,
then power up to cause the recalibration procedure to be executed.

Diskette Special Handling
All diskettes undergo small reversible dimension changes with changes in ambient temperature and humidity. Allow the CE Diskette to
stabilize to a new environment before use.
This takes a few minutes up to a few hours
depending on the magnitude of change.
Storage in sunlight, or temperatures exceeding
1100 F, are apt to cause irreversible dimension
changes which degrade precision of the diskettes alignment tracks. The CE diskette is a
service aid only, consistant conflict between
it and the mechanical alignment tool is cause
to replace the CE diskette.

Offline Field Totals
The offline field totals feature is used to obtain
totals from records that have already been entered,
updated, or verified. The offline field totals
feature uses the three 19-digit accumulators to add,
under program control, data in specific fields into
the assigned accumulator. A field total may include any number 0-9 and any of the 256 EBDCIC
codes. All codes with low order 4 bits equalling
0-9 are added with a value 0-9. All other codes
have the value of zero. All fields in which the
units position codes have the high order bits equal
to A, B, or 0, are negative fields.
The offline field totals feature allows the user to
read field totals from an accumulator into a
record with or without resetting the accumulator.

Selecting Offline Field Totals
Offline field totals feature can be selected from the
read index or update mode. When this feature is
selected, the mode changes to field totals and an
F is displayed on the status line. To perform offline field totals:
1.
Insert diskette and close cover.
2.
Load the program and mask statements needed to obtain the field totals.
3.
If in the update mode, position the disk to
the first record, to be used in the field
totals operation.
4.
Turn AUTO REC ADV switch on for automatic record advancing.
5.
Press FUNCT SEL upperand COMPUTE
FIELD TOTALS.
The accumulators are reset to zero, and the field
totals operation begins. Records are processed
under control of the program specified in the mask
statements. Field definition characters are ignored,
except those followed by a number. Field totals
fields are identified by following a field definition
character with a 1, 2, or 3 which specifies which of
the three accumulators is to be used. The second
and third positions after the field defin ition character can be used to cause the field to be accumulated into two or three accumulators.
The low order 14 digits of a field totals field are
added into the specified accumulators. Overflow
beyond 19 digits in an accumulator is not indicated. Deleted records are bypassed. Disk errors
and invalid mask statement errors stop the field
totals operations.

If AUTO REC ADV is turned off, the field totals
operation stops and the record following the last
record processed is displayed. Press REC ADV
to process the record displayed and advance to
the next record. Pressing RESET during a field
totals operation changes the mode to update mode_
At the end of a field total operation, the accumula.tors retain the field totals. If the end-of-data
address is reached, the data set label is di splayed
and the mode changed to read index mode_

Writing Field Totals Into Records on Disks

Mask Statements

After field totals are accumulated in the accumulators, the contents of the accumulators can be
written into a field in the record on disk. This
is done by programming the field in the record
into which the total is to be read with the field
definition character B followed by 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
or 9. If 4, 5, or 6 is specified, the contents of the
accumulator does not change. If 7, 8, or 9 is
specified, the accumulator is reset to zero. (4
and 7 specify accumulator 1, 5 and 8 specify accumulator 2, and 6 and 9 specify accumulator 3.)

A mask statement can be used to cause a particular program to be selected to process a particular
type of record. The mask statement has the following formats:

If the field in the record that the accumulated
total is to be read into is shorter than the accumulated total, only the low order digits of the accumulator are read into the field in the current
record buffer. If the field in the record is larger
than the accumulated total (19 digits), the total
is right-adjusted in the field and the remainder of
the field is filled with zeroes.

Self Check
Modulus 10
Modulus 10 is designed to detect either incorrect
keying of a single digit or a single transposition.

1.

The units position and every alternate
position of the basic code number is multiplied by 2.

2.

The digits in the product and the digits in
the basic code number that are not multiplied by 2 are crossfooted.

3.

The crossfooted total is subtracted from the
next higher number ending in zero.

In Modulus 10 self-checking, the space and zero
have the same numeric value; therefore, spaces
can be substituted for nonsignificant leading zeros.
The use of spaces is valid only when they are keyed.

In Modulus 11 operatior., basic numbers that reo
quire a check digit of 10 cannot be used as self·
checking numbers. The accounting system must
be adjusted to eliminate such numbers from codes
that are to be self-checked. If an operator is
generating check digits and punches a basic number requiring a check digit of 10, the machine
indicates an error condition.

Modulus 11
Modulus 11 is designed to detect single digit
mispunches, single transpositions, and double
transpositions. The main feature of this system, distinguishing it from other self-checking
number systems, is that it is based on a weighted
checking factor for each digit in the basic number
being tested. Regardless of how the self-check
digit is generated, the following arithmetic process is used:

Self-check fields are specified in the program by
the use of one of the characters C, G, M or H,
F, L as the field identification character. The
field definition characters have the following
meanings:

Each digit position of any basic number is
assigned a weight (checking factor). These
factors are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 2, 3, 4, 5 . . .
starting with the units position of the num·
ber and progressing toward the high-order
digit.

Cor H
G or F
M or L

2.

In the following example, write the num·
ber as illustrated, leaving space between the
digits.

Blank fields (fields totally filled with the blank
character) will check correctly in the Enter mode,
but will cause an error in the Verify mode.

3.

Below each digit, starting at the right and
working left, place the corresponding
checking (weighting) factor.

4.

Multiply each digit by its checking factor
and add the products.

5.

Because this is a Modulus 11 operation.
divide the sum of the products by 11. and
subtract the remainder from 11. The reo
suit is the check digit.

Program records can be any length up to the maximum of 80 characters (128 characters if the 128·
record-length feature is installed), but all program
records on a data set must have the same logical
record length. Users can choose to make all program records 80 (or 128) characters long regardless
of program length and terminate programs with E.
Programs generated on the keyboard after the logical
record length has been established (a record has been
read in Update or Verify mode or written in Enter
mode) do not require the E.
Program Chaining
Program chaining provides automatic selection of
the program to be used with the next record. The
program to be selected, when record advancing,
is designated by the appropriate program number
in position 80 (position 128 if the 128-record-length
feature is installed) of the current program. The program to be selected, when record backspacing, is
designated by the appropriate program number in
position 79 (position 127 if the 128-record-length
feature is installed) of the current program.

INTRODUCTION - How to use
The IBM 3740 Data Entry System is a family of
devices that provides a key-to-disk-to-tape data
handling capability. This is performed in two
stages. During the first stage, the data is keyed
onto a small flexible magnetic disk via one of the
data stations. During the second stage, the data
on the disk is transferred to 112-inch computer
tape by the data converter.

The two data entry stations are the IBM 3741
and the IBM 3742. The IBM 3742 Dual Data
Station has two keying stations in 1 machine
frame. The IBM 3741 Data Station has one
keying station. The 3742 provides basic functions similar to the IBM 029, 059, and 129. The
3741 provides these basic functions along with
additional features such as a printer and a
BSCA (Binary Synchronous Communications
Adapter) unit.

The IBM 3747 Data Converter feeds, reads and
stacks the diskettes. The data it reads is transferred to 9-track computer compatible magnetic
tape. The 3747 can also be equipped with a
BSCAunit.
The BSCA unit installed on a 3741 or 3747
allows data transfer between these units or between these units and a CPU equipped with
BSCA. A BSCA equipped 3741 or 3747 can
communicate with another BSCA equipped
3741 or 3747.

How to Use This Manual
The Manual contains all documents necessary to
maintain the 3742 Data Station. The material is
arranged as shown.
Page 1-1, Start of Call, leads you into a failure-analysis procedure based on the guideline: Start with the
highest order symptom that appears after power
on. Begin every repair action at Start of Call. Answering the questions asked, following the paths indicated by Yes and No answers, and performing
the actions required, leac;ts yOll, in most cases, to
the cause of machine failure.
Start of Call guides you either to the correct MAP
(maintainance analysis procedure) via the Symptom
Index, or to the Machine Checkout Procedure.

Error Codes
Error codes are in alphabetical, numeric, and
special-character order along the left edge of the
Index pages. In the space to the right of each
code are the MAP-page reference, failure description, probable cause, and how-to-fix information.
If multiple codes are displayed, use the most consistent and stable one, or the last one displayed.
Some disk-drive failures are cha~eable and slow
to stabilize due to automatic retry procedures.

KEYBOARD THEORY
The keyboard provides operator interface to the
MPU. Keyboard interface is provided by way of
toggle switches and key modules. Toggle switches
control Auto Dup/Skip, Auto Record Advance,
Program Numeric Shift, and either Katakana
shift or speed select.

Key Modules
Each keyboard contains up to 64 key modules
(buttons) mounted into an all keys assembly.
Each key module contains a flyplate that normally
rests on two etched pads on the keyboard circuit
board. When the key is pressed, the fly plate moves
away from the circuit board. Releasing the key returns the flyplate to its normal position. The
keyboard circuit board contains logic to perform
the following functions.

Toggle Switches
The toggle switches are mounted on a bracket
which is attached to the bottom of the keyboard.
The switches indicate the following.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Audio feedback control.
Key detecti on and decode con tro I.
Character storage control.
Keyboard character transfer control.
Alpha and numeric shift functions.
Character repeat function.

AUTO DUP/SKIP (ADS)

When the switch is on and the field is a programmed duplicate field, the MPU automatically
duplicates (enters) data from the corresponding
field of the previous record into the current record. When the switch is off, it signals the MPU that
all fields are manual fields.

AUTO REC ADV (ARA)

This signals the MPU that, when a complete
record is entered, the MPU can automatically
store the record on disk, and prepare for the
next record entry.

PROG NUM SHIFT (PNS)

In the ALL CHAR position, under program control, the switch indicates to the MPU that all
the character keys are active. In the NUMBERS
ONLY position, the switch indicates to the MPU
that only the characters 0-9, dash, space and plus
are valid. When the machine is in alpha shift,
all characters are active regardless of the position
of the switch.

Audio Feedback Control (Clicker)
This device is an electromechanical device which
causes a click to be emitted each time a key code
enters the character buffer.
An MPU detected error, such as an operator error
or a keyboard overrun error activates the error
line between the keyboard and the MPU. This
error line prevents the clicker operation. The
RESET key is used to reset the error. The R ESET key is the only key that will give a click
every time it is pressed, even though there is an
error.
A busy tone, or buzz, signifies that the MPU is busy
and cannot accept characters from the keyboard.
The MPU becomes momentarily busy each time a
record is written on disk. A busy signal (50-Hz
square wave) is placed on the interface line from
the MPU to the keyboard each time the MPU
wishes to signal the operator that it is busy. When
the busy tone stops, the MPU is no longer busy.

KATAKANA SHIFT (KSW)

When this switch is ON, the station is placed in
the KATAKANA SH IFT state for all keying. If
the station is under program control, this switch
will override other programmed shifts. ALPHA
SHIFT, NUM SHIFT, and KANA SYMB will
each override the KATAKANA SHIFT switch.

Key Detection and Decode Control
The unique design of the keyboard is based upon
key detection through capacitive coupling. The
detection of a pressed key (flyplate up) is the
same for all keys on the keyboard. An address is
developed by a scan counter and is used to sample
each key position one at a time until all 64 positions have been sampled. This sampling process
takes place continuously as long as power is on.
The sampling of the 64 key positions takes 16 ms.
The keyboard circuitry, therefore, takes 250 fJ.S
to process each key position.
The above addressing and sampling schemes are
accomplished in the following manner. The display sends oscillator pulses via the MPU at the
rate of 140.6 kHz/s, to the keyboard. This signal
is fed to a key cycle control circuit.' The key cycle
control circuit generates a load input pulse every
250 fJ.sec which is used to develop matrix drive
pulses and to advance a scan counter.
The 6-bit position binary scan counter counts from
00 to 63 continuously. At any given point in time,
the contents of this counter is the address of the
key pad that the keyboard circuitry is probing. If
the flyplate is in the up position, the contents of
the scan counter is encoded to be sent to the MPU.
The first four bit positions of the scan counter,
positions 1, 2, 4, and 8, are sent to a 4 to 16bit encode driver. Only one of the 16 output
lines of the encode driver will be active at a
time. Each of the 16 output lines is ANDed
with matrix drive pulses and then sent to
four etched key pads.
Matrix drive pulses are capacitively coupled
through each key pad to AND gates of the appropriate sense amplifiers as long as the key
module flyplate is in the down position.
The scan counter positions 16 and 32 are sent to
a circuit which encodes the two bit lines into
four select lines. The select lines are ANDed with
the capacitively coupled matrix drive lines from
the key pads.

Sense amplifiers produce a sense amplifier closed
pulse when the followi ng conditions are satisfied:
1.

A sense amplifier is selected by active
select line.

2.

A matrix drive pulse is not present. This
means the associated flyplate is more than
0.006" above its etched pad.

This combination of matrix drive pulses and
select line pulses, allows the keyboard circuitry
to sample each of the 64 key positions one at
a time.

Shift Key Functions
The shift keys are processed somewhat differently than the rest of the keys on the keyboard.
However, detection of these keys being pressed
is exactly the same as all other keys. The shift
keys are used only to modify the character code
that is sent to the MPU. Each time a shift key is
pressed, the appropriate shift bit latch is set on. It
will remain on for 16 ms (one keyboard cycle).
At the end of this cycle, the shift latches are reset.
If the key is still pressed at the start of the next
cycle, the shift latch is again turned on. If a character key is pressed while the shift latch is on, the
shift bit and the appropriate character codes are
transferred to the keyboard character buffer. Any
shift key can override a programmed shift function in the MPU.
Anytime the station is in Katakana shift (programmed for Katakana shift, the KA TAKANA
SH I FT switch ON, or the KANA SH I FT key
pressed), the Katakana shift can be overridden
with ALPHA SHIFT, NUM SHIFT, or KANA
SYMB. The overriding shift key will define the
character or function that will be entered into
the station when a character key or function key
is pressed.
When the station is in Katakana shift, the
following function keys require that ALPHA
SHIFT or NUM SHIFT be used with that key to
activate the function, otherwise the corresponding Katakana character will be entered into the
station:
HEX, FLO COR, DUP, CHAR ADV, REC
ADV. FLO ADV, SEL PRG, SKIP, RT ADJ,
and CHR BKS.

Character Repeat Function
This function provides the operator with a quick
method of repetively entering the same character.
Pressing REP is sensed the same as all other keys.
However, the bit code for REP is never sent to
the MPU.
Using this function, key codes can be sent to
the keyboard character buffer at a 10.8 character per second rate.
Normally, the three character compare register
would inhibit a character from being transferred
to the keyboard character buffer more than once
unless the key is released and pressed again.
With the repeat function, the compare register
is reset at the 1 0.8-Hz rate allowing the key code
to be accepted the next time it is scanned.

Tt,e MPU provides the 1 0.8-Hz square wave signal
to the keyboard where it is used only with the
repeat function. The repeat key latch is set on
when the keyboard circuitry detects that REP
is pressed and when the 10.8-Hz square wave is
at its most positive level. This latch resets the
scan counter and holds the scan counter at 0
with a load input pulse. The keyboard is,
therefore, inactive while this latch is on. When
the 1 D.8-Hz signal changes to its negative level,
the repeat key latch is reset and the three character compare register is reset. The scan counter
resumes normal operation at the occurrence
of the next load input pulse.

During the negative level of the 10.8-Hz
signal, the repeat key latch cannot be set on,
and the scan counter can complete approximately
three complete keyboard scan cycles. Therefore,
during this time, codes for pressed keys can be
sent to the keyboard character register buffer one
at a time under normal control of the three character compare register.
When the lD.8-Hz signal returns to its most positive level, the repeat key latch is set on and the
function repeats. The code for any key, held
down in conjunction with REP, will therefore
be sent to the MPU at a 10.8 character per second
rate.

Character Storage Control

Keyboard Character Transfer Control

A three-character compare register is used to
prevent multiple entries by a single key being
pressed. If a key is pressed and held, th is compare
register blocks the same key code from being
sent to the character buffer more than one time.
Blocking continues until the character is erased
from the compare register. Erasing is accomplished by releasing the keyboard key.

The keyboard character buffer is a temporary
storage device. It contains eight bit positions of
storage. Bit positions 128 and 64 are alpha and
numeric shift bits respectively and bit positions
1,2,4,8, 16, qnd 32 are the codes associated with
all other keys.

When the MPU processes the previous character,
the bit lines to the keyboard will go to a positive
state. Now the keyboard activates an interface
line to the MPU called data gate out and gates
the contents in the keYboard character buffer
to the MPU keyboard register by changing one
or more bit lines to a negative level. The MPU
then processes this character and clears the content of the MPU keyboard register. All bit lines
will then be at a positive level and the next char·
acter transfer can take place.

The keyboard circuitry stores a character in its
character buffer. It then turns on the buffer
control latch and looks at all bit lines to the MPU
to see if the MPU keyboard register is empty. If
anyone of these bit lines is at a negative level
(active bit) the character stored in the character
buffer does not get transferred to the MPU. The
bit lines can be controlled by either the MPU or
the keyboard.

As the name implies, the three-character compare
register can store up to three characters. Therefore, three keys could be pressed and held. The
first complete keyboard scan made on these keys
would result in sending each of the characters
to the character buffer one at a ti me. A fOllrth
character cannot be sent to the character buffer
until at least one of the three previously pressed
keys has been released.

the buffer control to issue a keyboard data gate
out signal, which in turn allows data in the character buffer to be transferred to the MPU keyboard
register. (Data transfer is inhibited during -R
time.) If a new data key is sensed (one that is not
stored in the three character compare register)
before the character buffer contents has been
transferred, a keyboard overrun error occurs.

In the ALL CHAR position, the switch, under program control, indicates to the MPU
that all the character keys are active. In the NUMB E RS ON LY position the switch
indicates to the MPU that only the characters 0 through 9, dash, space, and plus are
valid. But when the machine is in alpha shift, all characters are active regardless of
the position of the switch.
When on for duplicate fields, this switch, under program control, signals the MPU
to automatically dupl icate (enter) data from the corresponding field or positions of
the previous record into the current record. When the switch is off, it signals the
MPU all fields are manual fields.
Signals the MPU that, when a complete record is entered, the MPU can automatically
store the record on the disk, and prepare for the next record entry.

Introduction
The MPU (Microprocessing Unit) is the control
center of the 3742. The MPU receives data from
the keyboard, controls the displaying of the data
on the display unit, and manages the flow of information to and from the disk units.
The keyboard, display unit, disk unit, and power
supply are external to the MPU. The MPU consists of five functional units in its largest configuration:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Memory Card

The microcontroller is a small ROS controlled
processor. The microcontroller supervises the
entire 3742 system and manages the data into and
out of the MPU. The microcontroller contains the
system clock which is the master timing unit of
the MPU. The clock insures correct synchronization of data flow within the MPU.

During seek operations, the disk unit controller
sends "seeks" for the nu mber of tracks the microcontroller specifies and automatically verifies
that the proper track is arrived at. If an error
occurs, the microcontroller takes appropriate
steps to get the track desired.

The disk unit controller controls all disk unit
operations. It interacts with the microcontrollerl
buffer interface to manage data transfers between
the disk unit and the buffer. It maintains status
information which can be sampled by the microcontroller. Disk unit operations are initiated
by the microcontroller issuing the disk unit
controller a command (such as read, write, seek
high, seek low). The disk unit controller then
goes into a busy state and controls the sequence
of operations necessary to execute the command.
Upon completion of the command, the disk unit
controller drops the busy status condition. This
condition, along with other appropriate status
conditions, can be sampled by the microcontroller.

The keyboard attachment interfaces the keyboard
to the microcontroller. It stores decoded key

,---

iii

The microcontroller/buffer interface controls the
transfer of data between the buffer (a random
access memory) and the microcontroller, the disk
unit, or the display unit. The transfer of data is
performed upon request of any of these devices.

I

During read and write operations all resynchronization is controlled automatically by the disk unit
controller. On the 3742 the disk unit controller
manages both disk drives for standard two-station
operation, and when the disk copy feature is used.
Only one disk unit is activated at anyone time.

Display U nit Controller

II

The display unit controller accesses the buffer,
under the control of the microcontroller/buffer
interface. An RDS character generator converts
the character code into the correct bit pattern to
generate video signals which control blanking of
the electron beam~ The blanking and unblanking
of the electron beam forms the 7 x 9 character
matrix on the face of the display unit as the beam
is swept across the CRT. The microcontroller
supplies control signals to the display unit, which
are used by that unit to position the data on the
CRT.

Write From Buffer to Disk*
Buffer to disk unit controller under control of
microcontroller/buffer i nterfa ce
Disk unit controller to disk unit. All records
written on the disk are write checked under
control of the microcontroller. The check consists of reading the record and checking the
CRC that was written by the disk unit with
the CRC calculated by the microcontroller
as the record was read. The buffer is not involved in the check.
For check operation data flow is disk unit to
disk unit controller where the CRC is verified.
This takes place one revolution following the
write operation ..

3742 FUNCTIONAL CHARACTER ISTICS

Program Storage Area
The 3742 contains six program buffers (ten program buffers if the 128-record-length feature is
installed)_ Programs to control record format,
similar to those used in the IBM 029 Card Punch,
can be written and loaded into those buffers from
the current record buffer. These programs can
be entered from the keyboard or from a disk_ An
additional program (program level 0) is provided
which has a fixed program of 80 (128 if the 128record-length feature is installed), single character alpha fields. When operating under manual
control, this program is selected. Any program
can be selected from the keyboard by way of
the program select routine and the program level
number will be displayed on the status line.

Enter
Enter mode is used for writing records on a disk.
As an operator keys a record, the data is stored in
the current record buffer. In this mode, this buffer is displayed. When a record advance occurs,
the MPU transfers the data from the current
record buffer to the previous record buffer. The
record in the previous record buffer is then written
on the disk.

Program Chaining
Program chaining provides automatic selection of
the program to be used with the next record. The
program to be selected when record advancing is
designated by the appropriate program number in
position 80 (position 128 if the 128-record-length
feature is installed). of the current program. The
program to be selected when record backspacing
is designated by the appropriate program number
in position 79 (position 127 if the 128-recordlength feature is installed), of the current program.

character in the record in the current record buffer.
If characters do not compare, a V error occurs.
After the error is reset, the first character keyed
is accepted if it agrees with either the character in
the current record buffer or the character which
caused the error. The next record to be verified is
stored in the hold buffer. When record advancing
occurs in verify mode, the MPU moves the contents of the current record buffer to the previous
record buffer and the contents of the hold buffer
to the current record buffer. The contents of the
previous record buffer will then be written on
disk only if a change had been made to the record.
After the last record of the data set has been verified, a verify mark (V) will be automatically inserted in the data set label.

Update
The update mode is used to read records from the
disk for review, modification or use as program records. In this mode, the record located at the current disk address is displayed from the current
record buffer. Any changes will be keyed into this
buffer. When a record advance is performed, the
MPU moves the contents of the current record buffer to the previous record buffer and reads the
next record from the disk into the current record
buffer. Then only if a change has been made to
the record now in the previous record buffer, the
contents of the previous record buffer wi II be
written onto disk. When a record is written in
update mode, it is always written at the disk address at which the record was located before it
was changed.

Record Length
The capacity of the space on a disk, allotted to a
record, is 80 (128 if the 128-record-length feature
is installed) characters. When writing a record of
less than 80 characters, the 80-record-length 3742
writes blank characters from the end-of-record
through position 80. With the 128-record-length
feature installed, the record length for anyone
data set can be any value from 1 to 128 characters.

Verify
Verify mode is used to check the accuracy of records already on disk and to make corrections to
records when errors are found. As data for a record is rekeyed from the source document, each
character is compared with the corresponding

Production Statistics
The production statistics feature provides statistics
on data production for use in measurement of
work load, analysis of error, and job accounting.

Three counters are used to count:
1.

Number of key strokes.

2.

Number of records processed.

3.

Number of characters corrected during
verify mode, including all characters keyed
in field correct mode.

These counters are reset wh-en power is turned on
or when the R key is pressed while production
statistics are being displayed.
.

Search EOD
The search EOD (end of data) function causes the
machine to search the disk for the last record of a
data set. When this function is completed, the last
record of the data set will be displayed, and stored
in both the current record and previous record
buffers.

Search Data Address
The search data address function allows searching
for a record in a data set by specifying its disk address. When this function is completed, the record
at the specified address will be displayed, and stored
in both the current and previous record buffers.

Search Content
The search content function provides a search for
the record in a data set which contains specific
data. The data being searched for is called a mask.
The mask can be part or all of the record. A blank
in any position means that position will not be
compared during a search operation. When the
search content function is selected, the MPU moves
the contents of the hold buffer into the current
record buffer. Here it can be reviewed and if necessary, modified before use as a mask. When the
search operation is completed, the mask will be
stored in the hold buffer; and the record found
will be in both the current record buffer and the
previous record buffer. The current record buffer
is displayed. The search can be continued with the
same mask since the mask will be recalled from the
hold buffer when the search content function is
again selected.

FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS (cont'd)
Search Sequential Content

Disk Copy

Field Totals (Offline)

Search sequential content is a faster form of search
content. To find the record with the selected
mask, the records in the data set must be arranged
so that the search fields of each succeeding record
have a higher value than in the preceding record.
If one or more records do not meet this requirement, the search may fail_

The disk copy feature is provided by the 3742
to permit:

The offline field totals feature provides the ability
to add fields within a record or within several records and to enter that total into the same or the
following records. All addition and enter operations are under program control. The feature is
used to obtain totals from records already written
on the disk.

1.

Duplication of a disk to have more than
one copy or salvage data from a disk
that has developed a defect.

2.

Merging of records from a disk with
records from the keyboard.

Disk Initialization
The purpose of the disk initialization feature is:
1.

To write identification fields in each sector
of all active tracks on the disk.

2.

To write the bad track code in all defective
tracks.

3.

To write a record in each sector of each
active track (blank characters are written in
all tracks except track 00).

4.

5.

To write aO-character records in track 00 as
described in the Disk Theory section of this
manual.
To check a disk for tracks marked with the
bad track code and for tracks exhibiting
errors.

All disks are initialized before they are shipped to
a customer. They should be reinitialized only if:
1.

The disk was exposed to a strong magnetic
field.

2.

A defect occurred in one or more tracks.

3.

A sector sequence other than the existing
sequence is needed.

3.

Pooling data from several disks onto
one disk.

4.

Extended storage for programs since
programs can be loaded into the
program buffers from the second disk
without removing the primary disk.

On the 3742, dual disk operation is obtained
by disabling the secondary station and controlling its disk from the primary station. During
dual disk operation, write functions cannot be
performed on the secondary disk.
A 5-digit secondary disk address is displayed on
the display status line after completing any
second disk operation, indicating the address of
the last record read from the secondary disk.
When duplicating a disk, seven records are read
from disk 2 in one revolution. These records are
temporarily stored in the buffer, from where they
are written on disk 1. All seven records are written on one disk revolution. Program buffers are
used for this operation.

Three 19-digit accumulators are provided with
this feature. Data can be algebraically added into
one or more of these accumulators from a specified
field or fields in any or all records of a data set.
Data in these accumulators can be entered into a
field of a record with or without resetting the
accumulator, depending on the control program.
All accumulators are reset when power is turned
on, when offline field totals is initiated or when
field totals are displayed and the R key is pressed.
Detailed programming information is contained in
section 9 of this manual.

Self-Check (Modulus 10 and Modulus 11)
The self-check feature provides a method for checking the entry of the numeric fields that contain a
precomputed self-check digit. The self-check digit
is the last digit in the field and is precomputed
using a modulus 10 or 11 algorithm. The 3742 recomputes the self-check digit according to the
algorithm, and when the last digit is entered or
verified, it is compared for identity with the computer value.

Record Insert
The record insert feature provides the ability to
open a space within an existing data set into
which records can be added. This is achieved
by moving all records starting with the record
at the currently displayed disk address through
the EOD, minus 1, record. The new disk
address for the records is determined by the previous disk address of the record plus the number
of records to be inserted. The space that is
opened, from 01 to 99 sectors, is filled with
deleted records that then can be modified. Two
methods of record insertion are available: continuous service on the other station during the
record insert function or lockout of the other
station during the record insert function. After
completion of record insert, the second station
automatically gets control back.

Katakana

128 Record Length Feature Display
Modes
The capacity of the three-line display is inadequate
for showing a 128 character record (plus status line)
when the 128 record length feature is installed. Part
of the feature is a method, called scrolling; displaying the long record_ It performs the function in
three steps;

Step 1

40
41

80

to step 1 of the next record. If the AUTO REC
ADV switch is OFF, the display cannot scroll
past Step 3. Instead, the cursor advances beyond
position 128 to 000. The scroll forward key, if
pressed while the cursor is at 000, causes the T operational error.
All auto fields are executed as auto by-pass fields
while the Auto DUP/SKIP switch is ON. It is thus
possible, with one depression of the SCRL FWD key,
to advance from step 1 directly to step 3 if positions
81 through 120 are in DUP or SKIP fields.

Step 2
41
81

- - - - - - - - - - 80

In verify mode, depressing the SCRL FWD key results in the L incorrect function error.
Scroll Backward (SCRL BKWD) Key

Step 3
81
121

- - - - - - - - - - 120
- - - - - - - - - - 128

The display scrolls forward automatically when
cursor control advances beyond the limits of steps
1 or 2. If the AUTO REC ADV switch is OFF, and
the cursor control advances past 128 to 000 (control is between records), any key depression which
causes the cursor to advance, results in the T operational error. Resetting the error and advancing to
a new record sets the display at step 1 for the new
record. The display also scrolls backward automatically when cursor control passes from position
121 to 120, or from 81 to 80.

This key, when depressed, causes the display to
scroll backward, step 3 to step 2, or step 2 to step 1,
If the AUTO DUP/SKIP switch is OFF during display
step 1, pressing the SCR L B KWD key causes the
cursor to move to position 001.
With the AUTO DUP/SKIP switch ON, the cursor
moves backward, from its position at key depression
time, to:
1.

2.

Note: When in ENTER mode with the AUTO
OUP/SKI P and AUTO REC AOV switches ON,
the display remains blank if a record consists
entirely of auto fields. Also if the last field of
a record is an auto field, that portion of the
record display remains blank.
Two data-station keyboard keys; SCR L FWD and
SCRL BKWO, provide manual control of scrolling
forward and scrolling backward.
Scroll Forward (SCRL FWO) Key

The first manual position of step 1, if back
scrolling from step 1 or step 2, or if back
scrolling from step 3 and positions 81 through
120 contain no first position of a manual field.
The first manual position of the first manual
field of step 2, if back scrolling from step 3,
or if back scrolling from step 2 and positions
1 through 80 contain no first position of a
manual field.

The Katakana feature provides the ability of
entering the Katakana EBCOIC code onto the
disk. It has a keyboard containing 64 Katakana
characters plus 63 domestic characters. The
Katakana characters are generated by the Katakana shift and the Kana symbol functions.
Anytime the station is in Katakana shift (programmed for Katakana shift, the KATAKANA
SHIFT switch ON, or the KANA SHIFT key
pressed) the Katakana shift can be ollerridden
with ALPHA SHIFT, NUM SHIFT, or KANA
SYMB. The overriding shift key will define the
character or function that will be entered into
the station when a character key or function
key is pressed.
When the station is in Katakana shift, the following function keys require that ALPHA SHIFT
or NUM SHIFT be used with that key to activate
the function, otherwise the corresponding Katakana character will be entered into the station:
HEX, FLO COR, OUP, CHAR ADV, REC
AOV, FLO ADV, SEL PRG, SKIP, RT ADJ,
and CHR BKS.
Pressing KANA SYMB activates both the alpha
shift bit line (-bit 0) and the numeric shift bit
line (-bit 1) of the keyboard character buffer.
Any machine function, other than data entry,
that requires ALPHA SHIFT or NUM SHIFT
to be used in selection of that function can also
be selected by using KANA SYMB in place of
the prescribed shift key. Likewise, any reset
operation that requires the use of ALPHA SH 1FT
and/or NUM SHIFT with RESET can be performed by using KANA SYMB with RESET.

Scroll backward, while in verify mode, is a valid
function. However, the fields backed over must be
reverified.
To press either manual scroll key, while the cursor
is in a self-check or right-adjust field (except in the
first column of each field), causes an error condition.

This key, when depressed, causes the display to
scroll forward, step 1 to step 2, step 2 to step 3,
and if the AUTO REC ADV switch is ON, step 3

Proof Keyboard Feature
The proof keyboard feature which can be installed
on a 3742 differs from a standard data entry keyboard by a rearrangement of the numeric keys.
Under alpha shift, there is no change in keyboard
function. Under numeric shift, the slash key functions as the space bar, and the space bar functions
as the 0 (zero) key. Also, the 1,2, and 3 keys on
the data entry keyboard are interchanged with
the 7, 8, and 9 keys on the proof keyboard, respectively. The 4,5, and 6 keys remain unchanged.
The outputs of these keys in numeric shift mode
are translated by the MPU under ROS feature control. If a machine with this feature is operated with
the ROS Feature card removed from sockets, the
keyboard function will revert to that of the standard data entry configuration.

Ripple Measurement
Use an oscilloscope, ifavailable, to measure ripple
voltage.
The CE meter, used as described below, affords an
alternate way to get an indication of ripple voltage:
1.

Connect a capacitor (0.22 mfd or larger,
50 Vdc or higher) in series with. one meter
lead. The capacitor is not furnished.

2.

Set the meter range to 15 Vac.

3.

Connect one meter lead to the dc voltage in
question; the other lead to frame ground.
(Remember the capacitor in series with one
lead.)

The meter needle should not leave zero on
the scale if ripple voltage is within limits.

Note: A loose power supply capacitor
terminal screw can cause ripple.

205 Index Amplifier Adjustment

This adjustment decreases the sensitivity of the index ampl ifier
to the LED light passing through the diskette. The LED light
passing through a diskette can cause multiple index pulses or no
index pulse per revolution.

Adjustment

The index amplifier input level can be changed by moving
jumper
on disk Fe card Y only. The senSitivity level
(jumper position) should not be decreased more than necessary
to ensure correct operation.

the leadscrew clamping wheel. (Use the short end
of an allen wrench in the screw). If all three conditions are not correct, repeat this procedure
(231 ) starting after 'I nstall CE tool'.

Note: This clearance is marked on the front
of the head assembly (230H). The number
represents the clearance in thousandths of an
inch. On late level heads, this number is molded
into the plastic carriage and is always 3. Make
adjustment for a slight drag using a clean, undamaged feeler gauge.
Make sure CE tool is touching surface (230E)
of head carriage (2300) while obtaining
clearance (230F).
You should now have the following simultaneous
conditions:
1.

(1, 2, 3, ..... 25, 26) and for the alternate sector sequence (1, 3, 5, ..... 25, 2,4, ... 24, 26). The timings
provided in the chart should serve as a useful guide when
relative job timing must be considered.

The timings are based on 80 character records. Timing
can be affected by such things as disk speed, length and

Due to high voltage (12,000 Vdc
and 400 Vdc) in the display unit,
use cauti on.

DANGER:

Alternate adjustment methods (power on and
power off) are described below. (The power on
method is recommended.):

Loosen the clamping screw and slide the
yoke into contact with the fat part of the
CRT.
Orient the yoke with the wires away from
the PC board . •
Using just your fingertips on the screwdriver handle, tighten the clamping screw.
Then tighten the screw 1/8 of a turn more.
The yoke can now be rotated about the
CRT neck, but stays in any desired position.
Power up. After warming up, the display
status line should show XN.
Adjust the brightness control II to get a raster
which is clearly visible but is not too bright
and is not enlarged.

Keyboard Disassembly!Assembly
and Locations

Important! Work cleanly. The keyboard assem·
bly MUST be kept free of dirt.
Lay the keyboard down on its key tops and reo
move 6 screws from the bottom.
CAUTION
Do not disassemble the unit yet. If a key
happens to be pressed, the flyplate will jump
out of the key module.

Hold the keyboard in away to keep all components in place, and turn it over so that the
key tops are up.
CAUTION
Be sure no keys are pressed. Lift the all keys
unit and lay it on a smooth, clean surface. I!
the all keys unit is lifted and a key has been
pressed, the flyplate of the pressed key will
jump out of its module.

Space Bar Removal
Hold the ends of the space bar and pull up to
slide the bar off the key stems.
If pivots need to be removed, insert a screwdriver tip in the slot in the side of the frame an~
twist the screwdriver slightly until the pivot
is removed.
Space Bar Installation
Press the pivots into place in the frame.
Place the space bar in position over its key
modules.
Guide the stabilizer into the slots in the pivots.
Press the space bar down onto the key stems.

To reassemble the keyboard, follow the above
instructions in reverse order.
Key Module Removal
CAUTION
The keyboard baseplate (407N) has a projection
that should fit through holes in insulation (407M)
and contact the PC board (407G). Be sure the
base plate is assembled correct side up. Incorrect
assembly might result in a ground circuit failure
that intermittently causes extra characters.

Lift one edge of the all keys unit about 0.5
in (12.7 mm) and push and wiggle the failing
key modules down until they snap free. If
the keyboard has a contamination sh ield, note
that the module retaining ears must clear the
chassis as shown, but they are not visible.

Disassemble the keyboard.
Use the key top pulling tool to lift the key top
buttons from the key positions to be removed.
CAUTION
Be sure that no keys are pressed.

Set the key module upright and place the all
keys unit in position over it. Align the slot in
the module with the orientation lug in the
mounting hole.
Press down on the ends of the atl keys unit to
snap the module into place.
Position the contamination shield if required.

Flyplate Replacement

- Tape the keystem in the down position.

Replacing a dislodged flyplate in a key module
is not recommended. However, if replacement
is necessary because a new key module is not
available, inspect the flyplate to make sure the
joint between the spring and flyplate is not loose
or the flyplate is not cracked or damaged.
Form the spring on the flyplate so that there
is 0.5 inch between the ends of the spring.

Note: Part numbers are in ascending order, the
latest level is shown on the right. When replacing
a planar, check the part number of the removed
planar. Use that part number or a later level one.
The part number is on the connector shroud of the
a, D, F, or H connector on the module side of the
planar (504). The part number and EC number
may have been scratched out at one location and
an update part number and EC number etched on
the next location.

MPU Planar Assembly Removal/
Replacement Procedure

Cable connector

~/fl/

A ROS feature 128 card (or a ROS EC card)
field installed, is a part of the MPU planar
assembly FRU. The proper replacement MPU
planar will not require the use of the ROS
card (feature 128 or ROS EC).

J

EC Number
See (501) for part numbers.
Part

Number_~~_A

Disconnect the cables.
Remove the cross connectors.
Remove the studs holding the VFO, memory, and
feature cards (use long-nosed pliers).

n
Planar Assembly

Remove the screws holding the planar assembly
(planar board, interposer cards, and stiffener)
to the gate.
Remove the planar assembly from the gate.

ROS Feature

Reverse the above procedure to reinstall and
restore to the original condition.
128
ROS feature card should be reinstalled on the
new planar assembly with cross connectors C
and D.
For WTC only, if memory jumpers are present,
check them for proper plugging:
For 128 character machines with one card
For 128 character machines with two cards
