Abstract
The Mark IIIA simulation center is capable of simultaneously simulating two spacecraft and three deep space stations using the Univac 1108 and EMR 6050 computers. The EMR 6050 and the Univac 1108 were interfaced using Bell System 303C modems and a JPL-designed interface adapter. The design of the interface was constrained by two factors: (1) the final location of the Univac 1108 was undetermined at the time of finalization of the interface assembly design, and (2) the EMR 6050 and the Univac 1108 have different word lengths. The hardware and software approaches used to satisfactorily mate the two computers are explained.
