A Time-Sharing Computer Program to Drive up to Three Independent Fatigue Testing Machines.

Abstract

WG is a PDP-8/E computer program which offers a choice from seven resident software sequence generators to each of three independent hardware waveform controllers which drive electrohydraulic fatigue testing machines. The program is controlled by teletype commands and paper tape input data. Under program control, each controller may be run at a specified fixed frequency or fixed loading rate. Various analysis counts are kept which may be typed on command. One generator takes its sequence of magnetic tape and is restricted to one controller at at ime. Another version of WG may be produced, which will run five waveform controllers and two magnetic tape units. (Author)
