ROBAN CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC MONITOR SYSTEM,
Abstract
Roban is a versatile monitor system, for the Control Data Corporation 1604 computer, designed specifically for the X-ray crystallographer. It was written to make computer operation both easy and efficient. By using Roban and auxiliary programs, it is possible to assemble and debug new programs, and to operate existing programs. Roban contains an integrated control over a sys tem of commands (macro-instructions). These Roban commands make it possible to easily read or write on magnetic tape in binary coded mode, to dump a specific number of storage locations in binary coded decimal mode, to rewind tapes, etc. Other features of this monitor system include a flexible input-output system, a debugging capa city, the ability to monitor certain arithmetic errors, some useful arithmetic subroutines, and finally the capacity to work in conjunction with other programs such as the trace and assembly routines.
