Ground support interface to the Spartan data recorder
Abstract
The Spartan Tape Recorder Ground Support System has proven to be a versatile tool for the testing of the MARS 1400 Tape Recorder. The Tape Ground Support Equipment (TGSE) has two major functions. One function is to monitor the tape recorder during payload operations tests. The second function is to send commands which operate the tape recorder. Both of these functions can only be performed with the aid of the MARS Tape Controller (MTC) connected to the MARS 1400. It contains a Z80 microprocessor and other control electronics. This paper elaborates on the design of the ground support interface to the Spartan data recorder and the MTC.
