As the sliding direction of the carriage 8 is detected,
It is inverted from HIGH to LOW or LOW to HIGH according to the inversion.
You. By the way, in this example, when the carriage 8 goes to the right, it goes to the right.
When the control signal RD is LOW and the left control signal LD is HIGH, to the left
The right control signal RD is HIGH and the left control signal LD is LOW. So
The left and right control signals LD and RD

When voltage is supplied, left and right photo couplers 62a, 62b
In both cases, the light emitting diode 64 does not emit light,
Both the transistors 63a and 63b are turned off. Therefore,
When the plate cable 25 is + 16V and minus 16V
Since neither voltage is applied, left and right needle selection
Both drivers 10a and 10b are turned off.   When the right control signal RD is LOW and the left control signal LD is HIGH,
In other words, the control signal input terminal 66b on the right side is set to 0V, and the

-Store FFFF (H) as data. 705 …… Is the start icon Is pressed? Next with NO 7
Go to 06. 706 ...... Check data pointer CDP contents and check data
The contents of the target data pointer CEDP match? Next with NO
Continue to 707. 707 …… Data from sensors A, B, C (HIGH in binary
1 and LOW are set to 0) with the check data pointer CDP.
Store at the specified address. 708 ... Check data pointer of the hexadecimal 4-digit contents of CDP
Only the lower 2 digits are shifted by 1. Therefore, of 60FF
Next is 6000, and the designated address of CDP is shifted. 709 …… Limit time. 710 …… Is sensor C changed from LOW to HIGH? YES to next 7
Go to 11 and if NO, return to step 705 until YES
Then, the processes from 706 to 709 are repeated. Therefore, here YE
Data of sensors A, B, and C are sequentially scanned from address 6000 until S is reached.
Tore. 711 ...... Check data pointer of the hexadecimal 4-digit contents of CDP
Shift the lower 2 digits to decimal number by 128 (256/2)
And store this in the check end data pointer CEDP
I do. This is when the sensor C goes from LOW to HIGH,
The latest 128 sensors A, B, C stored so far
This is because only the data is valid and displayed as described below.
You. The subsequent 128 will be stored sequentially in step 707.
I do. From 711, return to step 705 above.   If you go through steps 711 to 705 and become YES at 706, do not
The side sensor C goes from LOW to HIGH, and the check data
Inter CDP contents and check end data pointer CEDP
If the contents of the above match, go to step 712 in FIG. 37 (B).
move on. Therefore, the lower two digits of both pointers are converted to decimal numbers and 12
8 matches, which is the horizontal dot of LCD 4a
This process corresponds to the center of the number 256.
This is done to display the data in the center. 712 …… Data display column 4_TwoClear the display of. 713 …… Indicates that the display stage is for each of sensors A, B, and C
Display the letters "A", "B", and "C" in three columns
You. At this time, the data of sensors A, B, C are not yet displayed.
No. At the same time, the check data display subroutine 75 in Fig. 38
Entering 0, the sensors A, B, C stored in step 707 above
Data is displayed as follows. 751 …… Designates the A column as the data display column. 752 …… Is the data of sensor A 1 or HIGH? YES at 75
3. Go to 754 with NO. 753 …… Displays A's level as HIGH, that is, corresponds to A's level
All 8 dots in the vertical direction are turned on. 754 ...... The display level of A is LOW, that is, 8 dots in the vertical direction.
Only the lowest dot of the two lights up. 755 ...... Designates the B column as the data display column. 756 ... Is the data of sensor B 1 (HIGH)? YES at 757, N
Continue to 758 with O. 757: The B display stage is displayed HIGH, that is, corresponds to the B stage.
All 8 dots in the vertical direction are turned on. 758 ...... The display of B is LOW, that is, 8 dots in the vertical direction.
Only the lowest dot of the two lights up. 759 ... Designates the column of C as the data display column. 760 ... Is the data of sensor C 1 (HIGH)? YES at 761, N
Continue to 762 with O. 761 …… Displays the C column as HIGH, that is, corresponds to the C column
All 8 dots in the vertical direction are turned on. 762 ... The display of C is LOW, that is, 8 dots in the vertical direction.
Only the lowest dot of the two lights up. 763 ...... Returns and proceeds to step 714 in FIG. 37 (B).
No. Therefore, when you leave this step 763 for the first time
Was stored before sensor C went from LOW to HIGH
The latest 128 data of each sensor A, B, C are simultaneously
Is displayed. 714 …… Shifts the check data pointer CDP by 1,
Prepare to store and display the next data. By this
Becomes NO in step 706 above, and new signals from sensors A, B, C
Data that is specified by the check end data.
It becomes possible to store sequentially in the memory. 715 ...... Check data pointer CDP contents and check data
The contents of the target data pointer CEDP match? NO
Return to Step 750 and wait until YES, i.e. 256 days
The processing of 750 and 714 is repeated until the output of the data is completed. Y
When it comes to ES, proceed to 716. 716 …… Buzzer sounds. After this, return to step 703,
The series of processes described above is executed again.   Therefore, hold the carriage 8 so that it crosses the position of the sensor C.
