What should be on the DSS-III rear panel ?
For reference, Figure-1 shows the current (old) DSS rear panel.
The rear panel of the old UET is also shown below:
The following is a brief description of what the above labels mean: (Click here to see a diagram of the timer relationships in the old DSS).
DUR1+ is a level that goes high when the Duration-1 timer is on, and goes low when that timer is off.
DUR2+ is a level that goes high when the Duration-2 timer is on, and goes low when that timer is off.
RIT+ is a level that goes high when the Repetition timer is on, and goes low at a fixed time before the repetition time is over.
PCFF+ is a level that goes high at the same time as the first repetition time starts, and goes low after the last repetition time is over.
The following figure shows a proposal for the rear panel of the new DSS (DSS-III).
