Abstract
Abstract A programming means comprises a magnetic shift register to which is applied a selected frequency of pulses, a diode pinboard or card reader is connected to the output of the shift register and diode pins are inserted into the diode pinboards at selected positions or a card reader having desired information thereof selects pulses from the train of pulses emanating from the shift register to provide a desired repetitive output of pulses for the testing and evaluation of complex sequential digital systems and other applications.
