FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
(continued)
Manual Tuning
Manual tuning commands tune up or down, are
available from keyboard only and are provided to
allow both manual station search and tuning
adjustments. If a continuous tuning up or down
command is made from the keyboardthe speed of
movement of the tuning counter is as shown in
fig. 10 for the UHF and CATV bands.Time t

start time for the key being pressed. When the
FB/sync. coincidenceinput is a logic HI thetuning
speed is reduced to 16 steps/sec. If, at time t
o
the
FB/sync.coincidence input is at logic LO than the
tuning.sweep speed jumps immediately to 512
steps/sec.
For VHF III & I all these levels are shiftedup by a
factor of 2 & 4 respectivelygiving slowest speeds
of 8 steps/sec. and 16 steps/sec. and highest
speeds of 1024 steps/sec and 2048 steps/sec. If
the continuityof command is broken by releasing
the keyboard for example then the tuning speed
returns to its slowest speed when the FB/sync.

dischargeof the external network.
The tuning counter is 13 bits in length giving a
range of 8192 steps. The UHF band has a band-
width of approx. 400MHz. Thus in the UHF band
the slowest speed of 4 steps/sec. gives a tuning
speed of about 200kHz/sec. The fastest speed of
512 step/sec. corresponds to a total band sweep
time of 16 seconds.
Program Memory Sequence
Acontinuousup/downprogrammemory command
from keyboardproduces a program change every
500ms. From remote control and data command
sources a continuousprogram memory sequence
command produces a program change approx.
every 500ms or every 5 received commands. A
memory sequence up or down command issued
from anysourcewill bringthe deviceout ofstandby
to the programselected before standby was com-
manded. The memory sequence up or down will
not then commenceuntil the command is stopped
and reissued from any source (until an EOT has
been received or internally generated).
