Software Memo for the Multimode Sonar Console Display System. Volume I - Operational Programming.

Abstract

The Multi-Mode Sonar Console display-system consists of one to seven Multi-Mode Sonar Consoles (MMSC's) and a single Passive Data Memory Unit (PDMU). The MMSC display system provides versatile display capability for computer-aided sonar systems. The MMSC's and PDMU will interface with either the militarized UNIVAC CP-642B/USQ-20B or the UNIVAC 1230 computer. The MMSC display system does not interface directly with the sonar sensor sub-system. All active and passive sonar data are assembled, formatted, and transmitted to the MMSC display-system by the computer. The design of the MMSC's will allow seven consoles or less to time-share a single, fast-interface, input/output channel of the computer. The PDMU operates on its own fast interface channel.
