FLOW CONTROL SUPPORTED BY THE 3681 |

SYSTEM GENERATION FOR THE 3681 |
|
|
The system generation process for the 3681 Multifunction |
Controller (MFC) is the same as for ATP6100 with CSSASYNC and |
CSSPRINT. However, the 3681 MFC SYSGEN modifier requirements are |
different in the following respects: |
|
• The 3681 requires the ASYNCPROC macro instead of the |
ASYNCTERMPROC macro. |
|
• The 3681 does not require a CSM process. |
|
• The 3681 does not require a PATHS paragraph. |
|
• The 3681 requires a MULTIFUNCTION CONTROLLERS paragraph. |
|
• The 3681 requires the MICROCODE FILES paragraph defined as |
M3681. |
|
• The 3681 does not support the CLBFRAMESIZE, STARTBOOT, |
STARTDOWN, AUTOLOAD, and PROGRAM modifiers. These modifiers |
are not rejected at system generation time; they are merely |
blanked out. |
|
• The 3681 does not support the 6511 and 6512 entries in the |
PERIPHERALS paragraph. |
