2.2 Console-Based System with ASTRO-TAC Comparator
2.2.1 System Description
The following diagram shows a simple system for ASTRO-TAC comparator display and control on a
console. The AIB ASTRO-TAC Interface Module is connected to the comparator via a serial cable.
The IIB I/O Interface Module is connected to 16-I/O boards in a Central Electronics Bank (CEB).
The status can be displayed on a console with parallel I/O lines for Vote, Receive, Disable, and Fail
indicators and switches. The console is configured just as if it is connected to a standard analog
comparator such as a DIGITAC or Spectra-TAC comparator. In this configuration, the comparator
display and control will be running through the console electronics.
