2.14 ON-BOARD TIMER
The On-Board Timer
provides both a motor
control for 5" drives and
a means for deselecting
any drive if not used for
a given period of time.
The 1791-01 will unload
the head of a drive if not
used in 15 revolutions,
but in some drives the
stepper-motor will still
consume power. The timer
is under complete control
of the onboard processor. It can be set, reset, and examined by
appropriate I/O operations. See figure 2-8.

2.15 STEP CONTROL
The STEP CONTROL circuit provides more flexible control of
the step function than the 1791-01. Step pulses are issued under
control of the on-board processor. The interval between step
pulses are timed by on-board software and can be resolved to
better than 0.10 milliseconds. The step pulse width has been set
at 3 microseconds. This appears satisfactory for most disk
drives. If needed, this value can be altered by choosing a new
value for C9 or R10. See Figure 2-9.
