Diagnostics for a Microprocessor Based Video Tape Recorder
The recent practical availability of moderate cost microprocessor chips and memory IC's has resulted in a revolutionary change in the design of VTR machine control and servo systems. In the past VTR machine control consisted of arrangements of discrete IC devices operating as both combinational and sequential logic circuits. Now machine control is dictated by software instructions contained in IC memory chips interconnected with a microprocessor IC to form a computer control structure. The result is a control system with logic density orders of magnitude greater than previously available.
