Step 2 Ć Determine a time from the table. Example values have been added for a BTW instruction.
Number of active I/O channels: 3
Number of active I/O channels containing one or
more blockĆtransfer module: 2
Time from table: 70 ms

3. Compute the approximate transfer time for each block transfer I/O
channel. Use values from your channel diagram (Figure 7.1), a value
from the table (Figure 7.2), and the formula from Step 6 above. We
make these calculations for you in Figure 7.3.

Computing Channel Times
CT4 = Not an Active Channel
CT = Channel Time
CT2 = Not a Block Transfer Channel
CT1 = [ 70 ms ] x [ 3 ] + [ 4Ć1 ] x 9 ms
210 ms + 3 x 9 ms
237 ms
CT3 = [ 70 ms ] x [ 1 ] + [ 2Ć1 ] x 9 ms
70 ms + 9 ms
79 ms
