Summary of Programming
Considerations

When developing a program for the SLC 500 backup system, you must
always consider the following:

non-synchronous I/O scans

execution times of block transfer instructions

time for transfer of data from the primary to the secondary
processor

the need to reduce the quantity of data to be transferred, and
gathering all related data into a single block

synchronization of discrete I/O data with regard to program
scans even though remote I/O scans are performed
asynchronously

the need to disable message instructions in the secondary
processor using the primary/secondary bit
