5 CHANNEL LIGHTING EFFECTS SYSTEM
COMPLETE KIT
ONLY
49.50
+ VAT!
This versatile system featured as a constructional article in ELECTRONICS TODAY INTERNATIONAL has 5 frequency channels with individual level controls on
each channel. Control of the lights is comprehensive to say the least. You can run the unit as a straightforward sound -to -light or have it strobe all the lights at a
speed dependent upon music level or front panel control or use the internal digital circuitry which produces some superb random and sequencing effects. Each
channel handles up to 500W and as the kit is a single board design wiring is minimal and construction very straightforward.
Kit includes fully finished metalwork, fibreglass PCB, controls, wire, etc.
- Complete right down
to the last nut and bolt!

TRANSCENDENT 2000
SINGLE BOARD SYNTHESIZER
LIVE PERFORMANCE SYNTHESIZER DESIGNED BY CONSULTANT TIM ORR (FORMERLY SYNTHESIZER DESIGNER FOR EMS LIMITED) AND FEATURED AS A
CONSTRUCTIONAL ARTICLE IN ELECTRONICS TODAY INTERNATIONAL.
The TRANSCENDENT 2000 is a 3 octave instrument transposable 2 octaves up or down giving an effective 7 octave range. There is portamento, pitch bending, a VCO with shape and pitch
modulation, a VCF with both low and high pass outputs and a separate dynamic sweep control, a noise generator and an ADSR envelope shaper. There is also a slow oscillator, a new pitch
detector, ADSR repeat, sample and hold, and special circuitry with precision components to ensure tuning stability amongst its many features.
The kit includes fully finished mtlwork, fully assembled solid teak cabinet, filter
sweep pedal, professional quality components (all resistors either 2% metal oxide or
1/2% metal trim!) and it really is complete
right down to the last nut and bolt and
last piece of wire! There is even a 13A plug in the kit
you need buy absolutely no
more parts before plugging in and making great music! Virtually all the components
on the one professional quality fibreglass PCB printed with component locations.
All the controls mount directly on the main board, all connections to the board are
made with connector plugs and contruction is so simple it can be built easily in a few
evenings by almost anyone capable of neat soldering! When finished you will
possess a synthesizer comparable in performance and quality with ready built units
selling for between 500 and 700!
COMPLETE KIT
ONLY
172.00 + VAT!
Comprehensive handbook supplied with all complete kits!
This fully describes construction and tells you how to set up
your synthesizer with nothing more elaborate than

multi-meter and a pair of ears!

ORIENTAL TELETEXT
Sony are to launch a Teletext
equipped receiver with infra red
remote control. This is the first
eastern set in a virtually
all -European market. Costing
about 800, it is likely to give the
home TV industry some added
headaches. The sets are to be
built at the Bridgend factory.
CATALOGUE CORNER
This month's releases include the
1979 Marshalls catalogue, usual
comprehensive assortment of
components and hardware. Interesting to see they deal in KIM
and PET, all in all not bad for
value for your 40p.

SAVE MONEY!
SAVE TIME!
If you continually solder and de -solder when building, testing and trying out modifications
on circuits, you're wasting money. Heat damage and solder build-up waste boards and
components faster than anything.

You're also wasting money if you're building circuits and you scrap them just because
you've no further use for them.
In both cases you're wasting time too.
Breadboards are fully re -usable and avoid these losses - you only need to hard wire your
circuit to keep the final design.
LEKTROKIT offer you a full range of breadboards, any of which allows you to build a circuit
or try out mods in a fraction of the time. And with no soldering or de -soldering.
Your components - IC's or discretes - simply plug in. Your interconnections are merely a
matter of pushing in solid wire - up to 0.032 inches,
So you save money. And you save time.
Further, LEKTROKIT breadboarding is expandable to match whatever configuration you
require. All boards are ready prepared for mounting with screws or adhesive backing.
Lektrokit Super Strip SS2

Only 11.05 inc. p & p and VAT
Super Strip accepts all DTP's-as many as nine 14 -pin at
time-and/or TO -5's
and discrete components. With

interconnections of any solid wire up to 20 AWG. And no
soldering. Super Strip has 840 contact points, combining a
power/signal distribution system with a matrix of 640
contacts in groups of 5. Distribution system has
8 bus -bars, each with 25 contact points.

Lektrokit Breadboards and Bus Strips
From 3.25 inc p & p and VAT

The modular, solderless system! Breadboards that link
together for any size, any configuration. With pitch of 0.1" to
accept all IC's. Just take each component, choose its hole
and push it in.

TECHNIQUES
Digital to Analogue conversion (DAC) is a fast growing section of electronics. Tim Orr
explains some of the more practical applications.
ELECTRONICS HAS CHANGED enormously in the past
ten years, having swung away from valves, germanium
transistors; even from descrete devices themselves. The
trend is towards more and more complex integrated
circuits, complete systems in a chip, large scale integration (LSI). Also the trend has swung heavily towards
digitally based systems rather than analogue ones,
partly because the IC manufacturers can get a greater
success rate from making digital devices and partly
because there are very many applications which can only
with a digital device. Such examples as

pocket calculators and microprocessors spring
be contemplated
immediately to mind. However there are several areas

where analogue techniques present the only realistic
solution (at this moment in time), such as tone controls in
an audio amplifier. In fact, good cases can be made out
for both analogue and digital systems and there are
many examples where both are needed. In these it will
be necessary to change from the analogue to the digital
world or vice versa and to do this, some sort of conversion process has to be practised.
a digital to analogue converter (DAC) is to

binary code (a digital data word) into an
analogue voltage. The data word is a digital representation of that analogue voltage. Thus if we presented the
DAC with a digital word that was linearly increasing in
magnitude, the output would be a linearly increasing
analogue voltage. This digital word would be the output
of a binary counter driven by a constant clock frequency.
The analogue output is a linear ramp, or rather a linear
staircase where the step size is controlled by the "size"
of the DAC. If the DAC is an 8 bit device, ie it can accept
data words 8 bits wide, then it can generate a possible 28

Size And Resolve

Fig 2 shows the relationship between DAC size and
resolution. Notice that a 16 bit DAC with a 10 V full scale
output is made up of a staggering 65,536 descrete

descrete output level. Now 28 is 256, so therefore an 8

bit DAC could generate a staircase with 256 steps in it.
The resolution of the DAC is thus part in 256, or rather
a change of one LSB (least significant bit) in the data
word will make the output voltage change by 1/256th
of the full scale output.
To get really fine resolution then a high performance
DAC is needed. DAC prices seem to be almost linearly
proportional to their resolution. have got several DAC's
amongst my collection of bits. There is an 8 bit DAC
costing about 4, a 12 bit DAC costing about 35 and a
16 bit DAC. costing just over 200. It is now possible to
buy a monolithic (a single C') DAC with a bit size of 6,
8, 10 and 12, but above this the devices are usually

levels each 152 V in size. (There is also available an 18

bit device, costing a small fortune. The larger the bit size
'of the DAC, the larger is the dynamic range (best signal
to noise ratio) of its output. This increases by 6 dB per
bit. Thus a 10 bit DAC can give a best range of 60 dB.
The human anatomy has developed over the last few
million years to respond to its environment. This has
resulted in the following performance figures. The
sensitivity of the eye to colour is not that good. Colour
television transmission doesn't give much of its bandwidth to the colour part of the signal. Have a look at a TV
and see how well defined the colour is; it is usually just
"sort of smeared around" the subject. Thus it is possible
to get quite good digital video using only 4 bits for the
colour. The eye sensitivity to resolution is somewhat
better, but even so an 8 bit oscilloscope memory will
look fairly continuous, giving little indication that it is
made up of descrete steps.
Ear Lead
However the ear can still outperform present day
technology. Using a 1 6 bit high quality audio system a
trained ear can still detect the difference between the
digitally processed sound and the original. Thus, when
using DAC's in professional audio equipment great care
has to be taken to eliminate all types of abberations in
the system. These digital abberations don't just worsen
,,as an analogue system might),

but they produce discordant harmonic distortion, side bands like those obtained from ring modulation and
other little funnies.
Figure 3 shows a DAC system in operation. The
output of the DAC is meant to produce nice clean square
wave steps, but the leading edges of these steps always
have small spikes (glitches), caused by the switching
times associated with the DAC's internal workings.
These glitches are not regular in nature and so filtering
cannot eliminate them. The glitches give the sound a
"dirty" quality, or, if the system is an oscilloscope
display it produces fuzzy pictures.
The glitches can be removed with a little module
called a DEGLITCHER, fig 4. This is a logic controlled
sample and hold which holds during the glitch period,
but otherwise tracks the signal from the DAC. Thus the
glitches are ignored. The output from the deglitcher then
passes through a low pass filter and this removes the
"stepped" quality of the signal and produces a smooth
analogue output. The cut off frequency of this filter is
very important and is related to the data rate of the DAC,
The rule of thumb is that the filter cut off frequency
should always be less than half of the data rate
frequency.
the signal to noise ratio
Buying And Building

DAC's can be bought fairly cheaply as complete IC's or
they can be constructed out of generally available parts,
fig 5. This circuit uses precision buffers (a CD4041 will
do), E24 resistors and a FET op amp. The buffers are run
from a+ 10 V supply and their purpose is to provide high
(+10 V) and low (0 V) output with low source resistance.
They are driven by a 6 bit data word, the MSB (most
significant bit) thus drives the 7k5 resistor, the LSB

,least significant bit) the 240k resistor. So, when the
MSB changes, the output of the op amp will move by a
large amount ,5 V), but when the LSB changes the
output will only change a little (0V1 56). Going from the
MSB down to the LSB, each bit has only half the effect of
its predecessor. This is obtained by doubling the resistor
values (7k5, 5k, 30k, 60k, 120k, 240k).
A 6 bit DAC can produce 26 descrete output levels.
Now 26 is 64 and so the overall resistor tolerance should
be + 1 part in 2 x 64, which comes out t 0.8%. This
type of DAC is known as a resistance ladder DAC, but in
its presented form it is rather limited. For instance, a 10
bit device would require a resistor range of 1024 to 1
and a tolerance of 0.05%.

Counting On This
A "counting" type ADC is composed of a fast comparator, a
gate, a counter and a DAC. Thii is why ADC's always cost more
than DAC's, the ADC uses a DAC to do the conversion.
Assuming that the analog input is positive, and the DAC
produces a positive output, the conversion operation is as

"start conversion" is generated. This resets the

counter to all zero's, the DAC output goes to zero, the comparator output goes high and so the clock is allowed to enter the

counter. Thus the count proceeds and the DAC generates a

positive going staircase.
2) When the DAC output exceeds the level of the analog input
the comparator output goes low, the counter stops. This is the
end of the conversion, and the data that is held on the counters
output is the data output. It would then be transferred to some
latches, and held there until the next conversion is finished.
This data word describes as precisely as is possible the
magnitude of the analogue input. Although simple to operate,
this method has a major disadvantage, it is slow. Imagine that
the ADC is a 10 bit device and the clock frequency is 500K Hz,

then the longest conversion time will be 1024 counts at 2H Sec

sinewave. An updown counter provides the address for the

ROM and the data is converted into an analog output by the
DAC. The clock frequency divided by the size of the counter
determines the sinewave frequency.
"7 -
Another method of generating data is to convert analogue

information into digital words. The signal must first be passed
through a low pass filter, the cut off frequency of which must be
less than half of the conversion frequency. The signal is then
"held" in a sample and hold unit so that the ADC can do its
conversion on a static signal. Control logic sends commands to
the ADC giving it various instructions. The sequence of events
is:
1) Tell sample and
hold to HOLD.
2) Tell ADC to start conversion (SC).

3) Conversion finished, generate end
(EOC).
4) Tell sample and hold to SAMPLE.

The process then repeats itself. The sample and hold mechanism
is shown below. Generally, in one period and the input signal
several ADC conversions will be done. The data generated is
then stored, processed or transmitted.

Yet another type of DAC, a mark space modulation DAC is

shown above. The data word is presented to one side of a
magnitude comparator, the output from a fast running counter to
the other. When the counter is greater than the data word the
A>B output goes low. The output is a mark space waveform the
ratio of which is linearly proportional to the magnitude of the
data word. The mark space signal operates a precision switch,

the output of which is lowpass filtered, providing a smoothed
of DAC requires a fast running counter, but

gives a relatively low bandwidth output signal. It is a good
solution for a system where lots of slow moving outputs are
required, because the counter can be common to all the DAC's.

LEVEL
There are several professional echo chambers that are all digital.
The audio input is converted into a digital word and then put into
a parallel set of shift registers. A 10 bit system would use 10 sets
of registers. The clock that starts the ADC conversion also shifts
the data along the shift registers. The data coming out of the
shift registers is then converted back into an analogue voltage by
the DAC. It is then filtered and mixed with the original signal.
The echo can be made to repeat indefinitely by using the
digital recirculate path around the shift registers. The amount of
digital storage required is rather large. Let us assume that we

want a good quality echo. This would be a 10kHz bandwidth,
60 dB dynamic range which implies a clockrate of about 25kHz
and a 10 bit system. Thus to store 1 second of sound (to give one
second delay), we would need 10 x 25,000 bits of memory, 0.25
Mbits!
The usual solution to this dilemma is to get longer delays at
the expense of bandwidth. Thus a 1 second delay would be 1kHz
bandwidth, a 0.1 second delay would be 10 kHz bandwidth. This
would only require 25I(of memory.
Multiplexed Sound System

Next time you are on an aircraft with a multichannel music
system, it is quite possible that the sound you are hearing via
your stethoscope is digitally generated. The sounds are usually
stored on a multichannel tape player and each channel is
connected to a multiplexer. This is a digitally controlled rotary
switch and it is continua'ly scanning all the audio channels. The
output of the multiplexer is then fed to the ADC. Thus each
channel is converted to a digital code. This digital code is then
transmitted in serial mode and mixed with a sync pulse. The
transmitted information is a series of serial data words, each
representing a small piece of the eight music channels, plus
some synchronisation data which passes down a two wire
system to each receiving unit. This saves wire weight, there is
less crosstalk and low pickup due to the high noise immunity of
digital systems.

Digital Memory for an Oscilloscope.
There are several products on the market that enable an ordinary
ible
oscilloscope to store waveform information. This is particularly

useful if you are trying to capture non -repeating events. The
system is very similar to the digital echo unit, there is an ADC, a
memory and a DAC. Also there is a trigger circuit so that one
shot events can be captured and a ramp generator to produce the
Xsweep. The output of the DAC is rather interesting, because it
is not low pass filtered, but it uses a linear point interpolation
device. Basically, what this does is to join up the dots, so that a
waveform that is represented by only a few points, can be made
to look like the original signal. The visual results of interpolation
are very good indeed.

PROJECT
HEADLIGHT DELAY
Use your car headlights to give post-parking
illumination with this simple unit.
THIS SIMPLE LITTLE UNIT lets you

use your car head or spot lights to
illuminate your pathway for a pre-set
period of about 50 seconds after you
have parked the vehicle. At the end
of this period the unit turns the lights
off automatically
The unit thus enables you to avoid
walking into dustbins or tripping over
junk that may be obstructing your
private driveway, and helps you
avoid stepping into various nasty bits
that may be laying on the public
sidewalk. The unit is easy to install in
the vehicle.
Construction and Use

Construction of the unit should
present no problems at all. The relay
can be any 12V type with a coil
resistance of 120ohms or greater,
and with two or more sets of N.O.
contacts that are rated at 3 .amps or
greater.
When it comes to installing the
unit, note that two methods of
correction to the vehicle are possible.
On some vehicles the headlight
switch is connected directly to he
battery so that the headlights operate
even when the ignition is turned off
(see Fig 2a). In this case take
connection 4 of the 5 -day terminal
block directly to the live side of
headlamp switch SW1, and
connection 5 to the headlamp side of
SW1.
The alternative connedion is
shown in Fig 2b. Here, the headlight
switch is wired in series with the
vehicles ignition switch, so that the
headlights only operate when the
ignition is turned on. If your vehicle
uses this type of connection, take
connection 4 of the 5 -way terminal
block to the live side of the ignition
switch, and take connection 5 to the
headlamp side of SW1
.
BUYLINES
With the small number of components involved, it would be surprising if there were any problems in
obtaining them.

HOW IT WORKS
The unit is designed around a type -555
timer i.e., with a relay output. The relay has
two sets of 'normally -open contacts. Normally, START switch PB1 and the relay
contacts are open, so zero power is fed to
the timer circuit and (assuming that

HEADLIGHT switch SW1 is open) the
headlights are off. Circuit Action is initiated

by briefly closing push-button switch PB1.
When PB1 is momentarily closed power

directly to the relay coil, and the
relay turns on. As the relay turns on contacts RLA/2 close and apply power to the
headlights and contacts RLA/1 close anti
apply power to the timer circuit, but pin 2 of
the IC is briefly tied to ground via Cl and
R3 at this moment, so a negative trigger
is fed
- MARCH 1979
pulse is immediately fed to pin 2 of the IC

and a timing cycle is initiated. Consequently, pin 3 of the IC switches high at
the moment that the relay contacts close,
and tbus locks the relay on irrespective of
the subsequent state of switch PB1.
The 555 is wired as a one-shot timer or
monostable with a timing period of about
50 seconds (determined by R2 and C2).
Thus, the relay and headlights are held on
for the duration of this 50 second timing
period. At the end of the timing period pin 3
of the IC switches to the low state, so the
relay turns off and contacts RLA/1 and
RLA/2 open, removing power from the
timing circuit and the headlights. The

operating sequence is then complete.

The best pre -amplifier in the U.K. The superiority of the CPR is probably in
the disc stage. The overload margin
is a superb 40dB, this together with the high slewing este ensures clean
top, even with high output
racking heavily modulated records. Common -mode distortion is eliminated by an unusual design. cartridges
R.I.A.A is
accurate to 1 dB; signal to noise ratio is 70d relative to 3.5mV; distortion <.005% at 30de

MC
PRE -PRE -AMPLIFIER
Suitable for nearly all moving -coil cartridges. Sensitivity 70 / 70uV switchable on the p.c.b. This
module brings
signals from the nowppular law output moving -coil cartridges up to 3.5mV (typical
signal required by most
.pre -amp disc inputs).. Can be powered from a 9V battery or from our REG
regulator board.
The kit includes all metalwork, heatsinks and hardware to house any two of our power amp modules plus a power
supply. It is contemporarily styled and its quality is consistent with that of our other products. Comprehensive
instructions and full back-up service enables a novice to build it with confidence in a few hours.

ideal for a
beginner as a first project (must be able to solder).
Pre -wound search loop and tuning coil, absolutely
everything supplied except tools and battery. The
least expensive way of buying. The parts bought
separately might cost you more, certainly it'd take
more time. Makes a great present for a younger

LOGIC IMAGE FCESSING
At University College, London, there is a research group working on a method of image

processing which could prove to be the link between the human eye and the TV
camera. Computing Today's Phil Cohen talked to Dr. Michael Duff about Cellular Logic
Image Processing.
CELLULAR LOGIC IMAGE PROCESSING was first proposed in 1958 by S. Ungar in the States. It was
suggested that the cells of the human eye do a lot of the
processing before what we see is fed up the optic nerve
to the brain.
What exactly do we mean by image processing?
Generally, it means processes like perimeter -finding
producing the outline of an object, or skeletonising
finding a set of lines which are unbroken and follow the
object's shape.
This sort of process can be used in such diverse
parallel processing system.

The essential difference between serial and parallel.
processing schemes is that in a serial scheme, the data is
processed bit by bit in a central unit (CPU) and the
intermediate results are stored in memory. In parallel
processing the data is fed in as an array and the
processing takes place all at the same time
there is
one processor for each data element. The intermediate
results are passed from processor to processor as the
calculations continue.
In the human eye, then, the question is: could a
number of cells just behind the light -detecting ones be
the parallel processors, responding to commands from
the brain to find the edges of objects, or detect movement? Certainly it is known that the edges of the field of
vision are extraordinarily good at spotting movement
could this be because the structure of the eye is different
there?
applications as fingerprinting, character recognition

(OCR) or even intruder detection (spotting movement on
a TV picture) but perhaps the two most useful areas will
be .biomedical scanning
chromosome counting or
looking for abnormalities on X-ray plates
and production line quality control.
Parallel Processing
The Processors
The model of the human eye previous to 1958. was of a

simple camera
the point -by -point information was fed
to the brain, which did all the clever processing.
However, it was pointed out that for processes such
as edge -finding it was much more efficient to use a
Going back to the CLIP machine, in this sort of application the type of processor we are talking about is in no
way as complex as a modern MPU. The sort of data it
receives are single -bit inputs from the image sensor

Fig. 2: Stages in the processing of a microscope picture of part of
associated with it and one bit each from the eight nearest
processors' outputs.
Why eight? Well, this provides an optimum "contoo few and the processing becomes slow,
nectivity"
too many and the cost of connecting the processors
together becomes enormous.
The sort of operation the processor would have to
perform would be to give an output if any of its neighbours gave an output and the image bit fed to it was a
The program example (in PET BASIC) given shows

the usefulness of this sort of process. Of course, we
cannot perform parallel processing directly in BASIC
the program has to scan the image bit by bit, simulating
the action of each processor in turn.
The important thing about using this sort of scheme
for image processing is that the outputs of the units will
change in "waves", travelling at speeds dependant on
the propogation delay of the devices involved. This
means that, by having four "edge registers" which are
not connected to the image input, we can do things like
finding the outer edge of an object by starting a signal
from the edge registers and programming the processors to stop propogating it at the edge of the object. The
program example carries out this sort of process.
Structure
In the CLIP machine, the processors each have the
structure shown in Fig 1. Each is connected to its eight
neighbours and its output fans out to the same neighbours. There is also a "pattern input" for connection to
the picture signal (which is derived from a TV camera
and multiplexed to provide each processor with a 1 -bit
signal from one point of the camera's image).
The gate enabling threshold selection and function
control inputs are from a programming bus common to
all processors.
The gate enabling inputs allow instructions like "If
the output from the processor to the left is ' 1 '
"The
threshold selection inputs allow "If more than three
."
inputs are '1'

for example.

There are also various buffers for more complex
instruction types.
The boolean processor itself can be programmed via'
the function controls to "look" like any combination of
memory -less logic gates.
- ..."
Implementation
The processors come in custom-built ICs, each chip
containing eight units. The CLIP 4 machine contains an
array of 96 x 96 processors.
CLIP 4 is the product of ten years of research at
University College. It's a commercially viable product
it fits into one 7 -foot instrumentation rack, including
power supplies and controller. The cost? In the region of
30-40 thousand.
The processors themselves are based on NMOS
technology and the control circuitry (the part that acts as
in the musical sense
directing all of
a "conductor"
the processors) is implemented in hardware
an MPU
would be too slow!
The input signal is from a TV camera (only part of the
picture is used
96 lines x 96 points). This is encoded
either as a black and white picture with no grey or as a
grey -scale image. CLIP can handle grey -scale pictures,
performing processes such as smoothing.
The output from the system would be to a video
monitor or, in some applications, just a few bits of data to
another peripheral, such as a warning indicator in the
case of intruder detection.
- -
Software
The software for the system consists of a series of inputs
for the function -definition bus of the processors and a
loop structure which is linked to the processor outputs.
Looking at Fig. 2, the machine is trying to find the
outline of the largest isolated mass of black in the input
pattern.
- MARCH 1979
FEATURE: CLII
Applications
One of the chips in the CLIP
One very interesting application mentioned earlier is

production line control. CLIP can tell the difference
between an object which has been correctly punched out
of metal and one with the wrong surface area or the
wrong number of holes, etc.
The amazing thing is that it can do this fifty times a
second! In fact, the machine can perform 1 500 parallel
processes per TV frame period.
The machine could be fitted to the "reject" solenoid
on a production line so that badly produced pieces could
be pushed off the line.
Another area in which the machine could be useful is
in microscopic counting. There are systems available
already which will count the number of items in a
each contains eight processors.
The original input is shown in the top left. The first

instruction propagates white from the edge registers
through all connected black. This leaves the pattern
second from the left on the top line. The program then
"erodes" the image by removing all black dots not
surrounded by black and then removing their neighbour
black dots as well.
It repeats this erosion until one more step would
cause all black to vanish completely. This leaves the
image as it is at the end of the top line.
The program then surrounds each black by eight
blacks. It does this twice. It then recalls from the original
input pattern the part which is "connected" to the
current pattern. The last step finds its outline.
.Naturally, this sort of software cannot be written in a
conventional language
the group have developed
what is effectively an assembler for the system and all
the groups working on image processing worldwide are
due to meet this spring to discuss a suitable high-level,
picture, or even the number between certain size limits,

but the inherent flexibility of CLIP make it invaluable for
complex tasks such as red blood cell deformity checking
and other applications where previously a human
operator was the only alternative.
One slightly more frightening possibility is the use of
such a system in facial recognition
enabling authorities to keep track of every individual automatically.
When the system was first proposed about ten years
ago, the device which was envisaged was a pair of
super-binoculars, with photo -diodes at one end and
LEDs at the other, modifying images so that only moving
objects, or even more selectively, only enemy tanks
would be seen! This is some way from the present state
of the art but in a few years .. who knows?
language.
We would like to thank Dr Michael Duff and

University College in general for their help.

CLIP SIMULATION PROGRAM

The following program simulates the action of the CLIP machine
by pretending to be each processor in turn in a 10 x 10 array. It's
very slow to run (several minutes) and this shows the advantage
which a parallel processing system has over a serial one.

Digital Alarm LCD Chrono
Size: 105mm wide 115mm deep x 55 mm high.

THIS IS THE THIRD digital alarm clock that we are offering (we
regret the earlier versions are no longer available). We have sold
thousands and thousands of these and our buying power
enables us to offer a first rate branded product at a really
excellent price.
The Hanimex HC -1 100 is designed for mains operation only
(240V/50Hz) with a 12 hour display, AM/PM and Alarm Set
indicators incorporated in the large display. A switch on the top
controls a Dim / Bright display function.
Setting up both the time and alarm is simplicity itself as
buttons are provided for both fast and slow setting and there's
no problem about knocking these accidentally as a 'locking'
switch is provided under the clock. A 9 -minute 'snooze' switch
is located at the top.
We fee! we've got to tell you carefully about this offer which we're
introducing for the first time. Why? Because our price is so enormously
lower than anywhere else you may suspect the quality.
The exact same watch is currently being offered by another magazine
as a special at 24.95
some of the discounters 'are selling it at
29.95 the price to ETI readers for exactly the same watch is 12.95.
The display is LCD and shows the seconds as well as the hours
and
minutes
press a button and you'll get the date and the day of the
week.
Press another button for a couple of seconds and you have a highly
accurate stopwatch with hundredths of a second displayed and giving
the time up to an hour. There is a lap time facility as well
and of course
,a back light.
Our Chrono comes complete with a high grade adjustable metal strap
and is fully guaranteed.

LOGIC TRIGGER
No need to be in the dark any more, see
your pulses, doing their stuff before your very
eyes.
WHEN USING AN oscilloscope to
examine or fault find digital
circuitry, it is often desirable to see
what happens just before a pulse or
edge occurs. An example of this is
when measuring the propagation
delay in a ripple counter. Here it is
easy to trigger on the last output
but the edge of the counter input
which initiated the change in the
output may have occurred over 100
ns earlier. Even with the delay line
built into modern oscilloscopes the
edge is too early to see.
Triggering on the input
waveform allows this edge to be
seen but if the output pulse occurs
only once every thousand or so
pulses it will not be seen. With this
unit, the output of all the stages in
the divider can be examined and a
pulse can be generated anywhere in
the cycle. By selecting a pulse very
close to, but before, the edge in
question and using it to trigger the
oscilloscope (use ext trigger) both
the clock waveform and output
waveform can be see n.

- MARCH 1979
With the advent of

microprocessors it has become
increasingly difficult to fault find as
things happen (e.g. the CE input to
a memory may go low) only when a
particular address is given. As the
address bus is always in motion it.is
almost impossible to trigger the
scope on any one address. Again
with this unit the address bus is
interrogated along with the
necessary write or read lines, and
its output can be used to trigger the
oscilloscope only when the correct
sequencer is received.
Construction
We mounted all the components on

the board including the switches.
The only difficult (fiddly) bit is the
writing of the three position slide
switches which have to be
preassembled before fitting to the
pcb. The wiring is shown in fig. 3.
To aid this we have provided 12
holes in the pcb the size of the
toggle of the switches; if the

The twelve inputs are compared to the

levels set on the slide switches SW 1 -SW 12
by the exclusive OR gates IC1-IC3. These
ICs have a high output only if the two
inputs differ. If they are the same, either
both low or both high, the output will be
low. If the two inputs are joined together,
as when the switches are in the don't care
position, the output will always be low.
The outputs from the exclusive OR
gates are combined in pairs by the NOR
gates IC4-IC6. If the 12 input signals
match the preset selection, the output of
all 6 NOR gates will be high. If any one is
not in agreement with the selection one or
more of the NOR gates will have a low
output.
These NOR gate outputs are combined by IC7 which is an eight input
NAND gate. The output of this gate will
low only if all 12 inputs match. The output
of this IC is inverted by IC4/d to provide
the asynchronous output.
This output also triggers the mono stable formed by IC6/c and IC6/d. This
gives a 10 ms long pulse of light the LED
indicationg a pulse was received. If it is a
steady state signal the LED will stay on.
The output of the NAND gate, IC7, also
joins the data input of IC8 (D type flip
flop). This IC is toggled on the positive
edge of the clock waveform transferring
the data to the output. This is the
synchronous output. To allow for either
positive or negative synchronization an
inverter is used on the clock input and
either polarity can be selected by SW13.
switches are initially placed upside

down in these holes the board will
act as a template to provide the
correct spacing. We have also used
two wires of the switch to provide
mechanical support. While only a
single pole switch is needed the
- MARCH 1979
only ones readily available are two

pole.
The switches can now be mated
to the PC board with the two
longitudinal wires being terminated

in the holes provided at the end of
the switch bank.

a major breakthrough in small computer

technology which dramatically reduces the cost of personal
computers. By use of custom LSI micro circuits, we have managed
to put a complete ultra high performance computer and all
necessary interfaces, including the keyboard and power supply, on
a single printed circuit board. This new computer actually has more
features and higher performance than some home or personal
computers that are selling today for up to $2000. It is more
powerful than computer systems which cost over S20,000 in the
early 1970's.
This new machine can entertain your whole family with
Ohio Scientific has made
solving without programming! This computer can actually entertain your children while it educates them in topics ranging from
naming the President of the United States to tutoring trigonometry
all possible by its fast extended BASIC graphics and data storage
ability.
The machine can be economically expanded to assist in your'
business, remotely control your home, communicate with other
computers and perform many of the other tasks via the broadest
lines of expansion accessories in the microcomputer industry.
This machine is super easy to use because it communicates
naturally in BASIC, an English -like programming language. So you
can easily instruct it or program it to do whatever you want, but you
don't have to. You don't because it comes with a complete software
library on cassette including programmes for each application
stated above. Ohio Scientific also offers you hundreds of inexpensive programs on ready -to -run cassettes. Program it yourself or
just enjoy it, the choice is yours.
spectacular video games and cartoons, made possible by its ultra

high resolution graphics and fast BASIC. It can help you with your
personal finances and budget planning, made possible by its
decimal arithmetic ability and cassette data storage capabilities. It
can assist you in school or industry as an ultra powerful scientific
calculator, made possible by its advanced scientific math functions
and built-in "immediate" mode which allows complex problem

Wilson explores the all too frequently ignored and misunderstood field of
Magnetic Amplifiers.
K. T.
THINK OF AMPLIFICATION, and you automatically'

think of transistors. Perhaps if you're a bit longer in the
tooth you remember valves. Have you ever thought of
large amounts of power gain being obtained without
using either transistors or valves? It's power gain we're
talking about, too, not just voltage gain. A transformer
will give voltage gain, up to 100 times, but at the
expense of current, so that the power out is never quite
as much as the power in. There's no power gain there,
but a device called the magnetic amplifier, which looks
'very like a transformer, can give very large values of
power gain, can control AC power into a load very
smoothly, and is used in the sort of applications where
thyristors would be a.natural choice for many.
The magnetic amplifier has been used in industrial
control for decades, yet has never really caused any stir
of interest anywhere else. Perhaps it's because it's
always a ready-made item, but then so is an IC amplifier,
and everyone seems to make use of those. Perhaps it's
just because so very few people outside the ranks of
professional engineers know just what a magnetic
amplifier is. Let's remedy that!
Fig. 1. Control of a loadusing a variable inductor, this configuration has very little power lost as heat, unlike a resistive
controller.
Induced Knowledge
To start with, we need
Laying Down the Laws
pretty clear idea of what

happens inside an inductor. A simple inductor has a
winding which consists of insulated wire wound round a
core of a soft magnetic material. Soft doesn't mean that
you can spread it on your bread, but that the material
magnetises easily, and demagnetises just as easily. Take
a piece of this material, hold a magnet near it, and it's
magnetised. Take a magnet away and it's demagnetised. This material we use for the cores of inductors,
a
transformers, electric motors, relays etc.

An inductor makes use of this 'soft' magnetism. The
winding has an alternating current flowing in it. This
alternating current (changing smoothly from a peak in
one direction to a peak in the opposite direction and
back) causes the core of the inductor to magnetise. The
magnetism isn't steady like a bar magnet, but alternating, which is the point of using soft magnetic material.
a graph of the magnetism (called flux density) of the core
plotted against time would, ideally, have exactly the
same shape as that of the waveform of the AC applied.
it's an alternating magnet. But
So far so good
we've known for about 50 years (or someone has) that
- MARCH 1979
VARIABLE
INDUCTOR
wherever there's an' alternating magnetic field, any

piece of wire or other metal will have an alternating
voltage induced.
Stick a piece of wire near your alternating magnet and
you'll find an alternating voltage across the ends of the
wire. The voltage is small if you use just a few centimetres of straight wire, but if you wrap several metres or
wire round the core, so that all the magnetism of the core
is at the centre of the coil of wire, then you find quite a
respectable amount of AC. Recognise it?, a transformer.
The laws of Electricity are very consistent, though,

Any coil of wire around a core that has an alternating
magnetic field will have an AC voltage induced. That
means that if we have only one coil, and we send AC
through to generate the magnetism, it will a/so have an
AC voltage induced in it. This voltage which the text
books call a "back EMF", opposes the current which
causes the magnetism which causes the voltage.
Result?
It's a darn sight more difficult to pass AC through an
inductor than it is to pass DC!.
When we use an inductor in a DC circuit, then apart
from some effects at the moments of switch -on and
switch -off the thing behaves like a resistance, good old

Ohm's Law and all the rest, and a fairly low value of
resistance at that.
Now you might think that it should pass the same
amount of current for AC as for DC, but it doesn't.
Imagine' that the resistance is 2R, so that 10 V DC.

5 A. It's not because Ohm's law stops working, it's
because of the induced voltage. We're trying to push AC
45
Control -A -Coil!
When we send a current, AC or DC, through a coil of

wire which is wound round a magnetic core, we can't
pass as much current as we like and expect the magnetism to keep pace. At some stage in the game the core
saturates, which means that it's as magnetised as it's
ever going to be, no matter how much current is used.
Now when a core is saturated like this, a change of
current doesn't cause a change in the magnetism, so
there's no more induced voltage. In other words, the
inductance is no more and the impedance is practically

Let the AC flow to it's load through an inductor whose
core we can cause to saturate. How? By passing DC
through another winding, by making the core of material

which saturates easily, and the making the core continuous with no air gap.
That's our recipe for a magnetic amplifier.

through with one voltage, and the induced voltage is

opposing our efforts. It's only the difference between the
two voltages that has any effect at all.
Impedance Impediment
Suppose for example, that with 10 V AC applied, the

induced voltage is 9V9. This makes the difference equal
to OV1, and the current is
0.1
=0.05 A,
Figure 2 shows a simple magnetic amplifier circuit.

The inductor L1 has a large inductance when the core is
not saturated, because of that, its impedance is very
large, enough to make the current in the circuit very
small. Now let DC flow through the second winding L2,
and the core saturates.
If we can keep the core saturated for the whole of the
AC cycle, then the inductance of L1 is almost zero, and
the full amount of AC current flows through the load.
We don't of course, have to switch between saturation and no -saturation. We can adjust the control current
so that the core saturates only on half of the AC cycle, or
in peaks so that the average current through the lead is
controlled.
(by Ohm's Law)
Now these are calculations we seldom bother to

make. Instead we measure a quantity called the selfinductance, L, of the coil and use this quantity and the
resistance value to calculate impedance, which is the
ratio
AC voltage
AC current
for the coil. In our example, 10 V causes 0.05 A to flow,

making the impedence 10 / .05= 200 R, not a particularly large impedance, but much greater than the
resistance of 2 R.
The useful thing about an impedance is that there's
practically no loss of power in it. Pass a current through a
200 R resistor, and you lose energy in the form of heat
the amount of heat lost per second is 200 x (current)2
joules for a 200 R resistor. The same current through the
inductor in our example doesn't look anything like this
only its resistance loses heat, and that's only 2 X (current)2 joules, because the resistance is only 2 R.
We can therefore use an inductor to control the flow
of AC in a circuit (see Fig. 1) with none of the power loss
that a resistor would cause. Now if we could just have a
variable inductor, we could be very neatly control the
flow of current in that circuit. Of course, we could use an
inductor with tapped turns and slide contacts, built ike a
potentiometer, and we make use of just such a device,
the familiar Variac. It's possible though, to control the
inductance of a winding with no mechanical movement
at all, and what makes it possible is the effect called
saturation.
Self Satisfied
a simple magnetic amplifier has a lot of

advantages, such as low power dissipation and high
power gain, but better results are possible by using what
is called a self -saturating design. Self -saturation is a
form of positive feedback, using some of the signal
current to assist the DC control current. Fig 3 shows a
half -wave self -saturating circuit. The rectifier D1 ensures
that only one direction of current flows through the coil
L1 and the rated load current will cause the core to be
close to saturation. The DC control current in winding L2
need only be quite small to cause the core to saturate on
peaks, so that less power is needed to control the load
current, and power gain is much higher.
Only half cycles are passing into the load, however,
so that a full wave version is more desirable.

FEATURE: Who Needs Electronics?

the AC wave is split into its two halves.
In all these circuits, an additional inductor is used in
the DC control line to prevent AC appearing in the
control circuit because of transformer action.

DC amplification? Simple enough, just rectify the

with self saturation, by positive
A full -wave self -saturating magnetic amplifier is

shown in Fig 4. Two sets of windings are used, each
handling half of the wave, with rectifiers ensuring that
circuit and only two more are needed. More sensitivity?

Add another winding to pass DC bias current, and the
sensitivity increases because the bias can be set so that
the core is very close to saturation.
Nothing could be that perfect, there has to be a snag
somewhere, and response time is it for magnetic
amplifiers. Being slow beasts a sudden change of control
signal may not cause much change in the output current
until several cycles of AC have passed through. Nevertheless for stabilising AC supplies, for control of large AC
loads and for high power gains magnetic amplifiers are
not so easily displaced by electronics .There's not much
to go wrong, they can be built to order, and they can be
repaired.

Sparkrite X4 is a high performance, high quality capacitive discharge, electronic

ignition system in kit form. Tried, tested, proven, reliable and complete. It can be
assembled in two or three hours and fitted in 1', 3 mins.
Because of the superb design of the Sparkrite circuit it completely eliminates
problems of the contact breaker. There is no misfire due to contact breaker
bounce which is eliminated electronically by a pulse suppression circuit which
prevents the unit firing if the points bounce open at high R.P.M. Contact breaker
burn is eliminated by reducing the current to about /50th of the norm. It will
perform equally well with new, old, or even badly pittec points and is not
dependent upon the dwell time of the contact breakers for recharging the system.
Sparkrite incorporates a short circuit protected inverter which eliminates the
problems of SCR lock on and, therefore, eliminates the possibility of blowing the
transistors or the SCR. (Most capacitive discharge ignitions are not completely
foolproof in this respect). The circuit incorporates a voltage regulated output for
greatly improved cold starting. The circuit includes built in static timing light,
systems function light, and security changeover switch. All kits fit vehicles with
coil/distributor ignition up to 8 cylinders.

comprehensive unit designed to handle up to 20A per channel with emphasis upon
ease of construction and versatility in operation
A
SINCE THE EARLY DAYS of the

theatre the need for lighting has
been all-important Just as important
has been the need for control of that
lighting. This ranges from very crude
initially to very sophisticated today,
often with a_ computer 'doing the
controlling in the creation of special
moods and effects.
The first types of dimmer used, of

which there are still some examples
in older theatres, was a variable
resistance type which used either a
variable or switched power resistor in
series with the load. With small loads
a wire wound resistor or a carbon pile
was used while larger loads used a
tank of saline solution with a central
electrode which was raised or

lowered in the liquid, effectively
changing the resistance This type of
dimming, while reasonably effective,
dissipated a lot of power which made
life uncomfortably hot for the
operator, since to minimise
mechanical linkages the dimmers
themselves were often in the control
room.

Electronics
With the advent of electronics, life
was a little bit easier. The use of
phase controlled dimming using
thyratrons and later SCRs and Triacs
reduced the heat dissipation
dramatically (if you'll excuse the pun)
and also allows the control to be
physically separate from the dimmer.
Besides being easier for the operator
performances were greatly enhanced
by the much better control available.
Today the use of phase control is
almost universal as it is simple,
reliable and cheap. Another method
in use today is by magnetics; this
type has the advantage of generating
no RFI but unfortunately is
Fig 1. (Far left). The earliest

type of dimmer employing just a
variable resistor controlling the
load.
Fig 2. (Left). Common! The

most usual kind of light dimmer
in use today.
Fig 3. (Right). A more
refined
realisation of the art, which at

least has the control isolated!
expensive.
The problem of RFI is common .to
all phase control circuits, but can
usually be reduced to acceptable,
levels by the use of a choke and
several capacitors. For RFI the choke
need not be very large, but one other
effect of phase control is the audible
rattling of the lamp filament
(especially with the larger globes)
which is due to the sudden
application of power, and the
magnetic field so produced, each half
cycle. This can be cured by reducing
the rate of the rise of current by using
a larger choke.
Type Casting
We have given some schematic
diagrams of types of dimmers which
have been used previously. Fig.
is
the oldest type comprising simply a
variable resistor in series with the
load. The second (Fig. 2), probably
the most common type in use today
(mainly in homes) is very simple but
lacks the versatility needed for
theatrical work.
The third type (Fig. 3) is in
common use and while still very
simple does have many good
features. These include having the
1
52
control potentiometer isolated from

the mains voltage and also a
modified control curve to give a
better input-output voltage
relationship. Synchronization is
referred to the zero crossing of the
mains voltage, making the unit more
suitable for driving inductive
-
(fluorescent) loads; this also

eliminates hysteresis which occurs
with the simple dimmers.
The dimmer to be described here
is more complex than most but a
great deal of effort has been taken to
ensure that all problems have been
solved. A low pass filter, with phase

HOW IT WORKS -CONTROLLER

.
There are two controls for each dimmer

along with two master controls. The master
controls vary the voltage on the individual
level control potentiometers from O V (no
light) to -x volts (full light). Normally one
master will be at maximum and the second at
zero. The outputs of the two controls for each
dimmer are added by an operational
amplifier, referred to O V. As one set of
potentiometers has 0 V on both of its ends it

can be varied without changing the output

allowing it to be set for the next scene. By
varying the master controls together, but in
opposite directions, the complete lighting set
up can be smoothly varied from one scene to
the next.
As we need + 12y out to drive the dimmers
the supply voltage of the control desk is 15
volts.

none of the components in this (admittedly huge) project should tax your

PROJECT Dimmer
correction, is used to ensure accurate
synchronization. The control curve is'
also modified to give a subjectively
more linear response and it has the
ability to drive a fluorescent load
without requiring a ballast resistor.
Both the maximum and minimum
light levels are adjustable without
interaction giving reliable and
predictable output. This is especially
necessary if a dimmer fails for some
reason and is replaced by a spare
unit.
The Protection racket

The protection of SCRs and Triacs,
especially Triacs, is usually difficult
as they tend to fuse faster than the
fuse purportedly protecting them.
The use of a cheap Triac which
requires an expensive fuse to protect
it is false economy. We have used a
large rugged Triac (40 A device for
the 20 A dimmer) which allows
economical fuses to be used,
especially for the 10 A version.
On the control side we will be
describing a panel with two sets of
long sliders per dimmer with two
master controls which allow the next
scene to be set up then faded in
when required. A digital memory
which can 'prerecord' scenes and
recall them on demand may be
published later.
Dimmer Module -- Construction

Assemble the board with the aid of
the overlay. The heatsink should be
drilled and tapped for the triac to
allow easy replacement if ever
necessary. Note that the mounting of
the fuse is different for the 10 and
20 A dimmers.
The choke is bolted onto the PCB
using the long clamping bolts,
preferably using rubber g-rommets in
the holes in the board (they may have
to be drilled out to do this). The leads
from the choke should be bent such
that they go into the holes provided
without going near the mounting
bolts which are at earth potential.
The leads can now be soldered (both
sides on the 20 A unit).
The pulse transformer can now be
added according to Table 1 Be
careful when winding this
transformer not to damage the
insulation on the wire as there is
240 V between windings. We also
recommend some epoxy between the
transformer and the board.
The printed circuit boards for the

two versions of the dimmer board are
identical in layout and differ only in
that the connector end of the 20 A
board is double sided to present a
greater area of contact with the
connectors.
Controller -Construction?
The component numbering system
used on the controller drawings is
'designed to indicate which channel a

particular component is part of. The
printed circuit board drawing for the
dimmer board is too large to publish
in the magazine at full size; however,
the pattern is available from our
offices for the cost of an SAE
large SAE!
If the dimmer modules are not
required to be connected through
sockets, the total cost can be reduced
by connecting directly to the modules
and mounting them in a box. In the
20 A unit the heavy wires should be
bolted on to the appropriate pads to
ensure contact to both sides of the
board.
One more modification to the
control desk is the addition of a
black-out switch which allows all
lights to be blacked out without
moving the master control. This is
simply done by switching the supply
voltage on the master potentiometers
from the 8 V supply as set by RV3 to
OV. RV3 should be adjusted such
that with one master at maximum,
the second at minimum and one
-a

individual control at maximum that

its output voltage should be +10
volts.
Setting up
With the dimmer module the trim
potentiometer has to be adjusted so
that the output pulse from IC7 occurs
at the very end of each half cycle.
This is easiest set using an
oscilloscope although an
approximate setting can be made
without one.
If the dimmer is connected up to a
reasonably heavy load and adjusted
for about / 3 level it will probably
be found that with RV3 at one end
the light level is not stable and tends
to flash. This is caused by the sync
pulse occurring after the end of the
half cycle and the trigger pulses from
the previous half cycle triggering the
next. The trim potentiometer RV3
should be turned back about 1/4 turn
from the position at which this effect
1
stops.
Max and Min

When adjusting the maximum and
minimum levels the minimum should
be adjusted first. Note that the
control potentiometer must be
slightly up off zero to get any light
and minimum should be adjusted at
this point. The maximum should be
adjusted with both the master and
individual control at maximum and
set to the point where the light level
is just starting to drop.

What to look for in the April issue: On sale March 2nd
Amp Survey
Build -it -yourself hi-fi continues to flourish,
and new designs appear almost daily. Power

amplifiers are a favourite in the field, and
their numbers, by now, are legion.
Unfortunately there is no way for the
home constructor to `listen in' to a module
before he builds it, and thus he is left to fall
back on the spec. sheets. Fine if you like it,
rotten if you don't.
Next month we're surveying the field,
giving full details of all the models we can
find, and putting the market leaders against
top quality commercial equipment to find
out how they sound.
MAINS SEEKER
So you are about to drill the living room wall to hang
up those shelves you promised the wife 7 years
ago. Black & Decker in hand you advance to the
plaster. Wait a minute there a mains socket right

beneath.
that is the
Doubt sets in to drill or not to drill
question. Which way do the wires run? Will you
black out the entire Universe if you try it? How can
you find those wires?
just read ETI next month when
Simple really
we have a neat little project to show you exactly
where the mains wires lie!
OCTAVE SHIFTER
superb little circuit to add that
instant `jump' to guitar playing.
Operated by a footswitch the effect
has a unique sound all its own not
to be missed
no strings attached
A
to this one.
3080
Well ten of them anyway The
3080 is a much under-rated device,
and next month's IETs circuit man
Tim Orr hopes to put that right

with ten ways to use device, all
comprehensively explained to help
you design the other 3070 circuits
yourself.
AMBUSH
Your starship crashes through

running between the
the void
lines of enemy dreadnoughts to deliver medical supplies to the seiged
plant of Tora. In order to preserve
energy your ship has no weapons,
only its shields and its speed.
Missiles can appear from any
direction, and to destroy them you
must actuate your shields at the
precise moment of impact, thereby
conserving power and allowing the
engines to keep you moving at
Warp Factor 20.
Can you make it through the
Ambush and make Capt. Kirk look

cissv?

........................
first flush of youth I still consider myself to be young at heart

so the young computing funfair seemed just the thing for me. Organised by the
British Computer Society (BCS) the fair filled the Bloomsbury Centre Hotel early in
ALTHOUGH out of the
January with the younger members of the ever growing group of people with an
interest in computers.
Following on from the 'Living with Computers' conference, again organised by the BCS and held in the
Institute of Education near the Bloomsbury Centre, the
event provided a fitting climax to a very stimulating few
days.
The funfair included exhibits ranging from minicomputers, computers being used for choreography in
ballet, computer controlled games, DIY computer kits, a
micro -computer controlled railway and many stands
showing how the computer is in use in our everday life.
Among this last group of exhibits were the Abbey
National Building Society (they got the computing habit,
they have) and the police, showing that big brother was
alive and well at the funfair.
The NASCOM stand was a great attraction for many
people, demonstrating as it did the latest add ons to that
popular DIY computer kit, the NASCOM 1. The buffer
board, mother board and expansion RAM cards allowed
the NASCOM's on display to run the 2K BASIC interpreter NASCOM are now producing. The BASIC includes all the facilities common to basics of this size,
interger arithmetic, 26 variables (Designated A -Z),
single dimension array plus assorted commands, operators and functions. In addition a machine code call
greatly extends the power of the interpreter. NASCOM's
super tiny BASIC makes use of this machine code call to
provide amongst other commands, an edit function
which allows the insertion/deletion of individual characters within a line, a renumber command and a facility
for string inputs
something sadly lacking in the basic
BASICS.
Undoubtedly though the exhibits that caused the
greatest interest amongst the younger generation that
made up the majority of the visitors to the fair were the
rows of amusement machines. Everything from cowboys
at the OK coral to star wars in space quadrant 0040.
7689. Microprocessors have revolutionised the arcade
industry, both in bringing arcade type games into the
home and in dramatically increasing the sophistication
and supposedly, entertainment value of the machines in
the public domain. Certainly the young audience were
impressed.
Altergo ran a painting competition in conjunction
with the funfair and Saturday saw the prize giving
ceremony. The subject for the painting was "My
Friendly Computer." The first prize was an Altergon
robot, a beast that walks, talks, moves and flashes its
eyes. Talking of beasts brings us onto beauty and
who preof the new Avengers
Joanna Lumley
2
sented the prize to the winner of the competition
year old Fiona Mackay.
As well as the exhibition stands a concurrent series of

lectures was presented in a hall adjacent to the main
event. The lectures concentrated on introducing people
to the various aspects of computing and the careers
potential offered by the computing industry. These were
well attended in spite of the attractions of the afforementioned amusement machines.
All in all a successful gathering that introduced the
fascinating and diverse world of the computer to people
who will form the systems engineers, computer operators, engineers etc. of tomorrow.

Any excuse to get a robot onto the pages of ETl is eagerly taken
up. The fact that there are a couple of ladies in frame is
incidental. The robot was first prize in the painting competition
organised by Altergo. Fiona Mackay won the robot which was
presented by Joanna Lumley.

.NEWS
Following on from my item last month concerning low
cost keyboard designs Mr Charles Lacey has written to
me with details of a project along these lines that is at the
prototype stage. Designed as a touch keyboard with fifty
keys including space bar, 2 shift keys, a delete key and
two spare controls the system is more elegant than my
attempt. Looking back at the circuit proposed it does
seem a bit clumsy.
With luck Mr Lacey should have a very nice project in
a couple of months time. We'll keep in touch.
By the way if anybody else has had ideas along these
lines please let me know.
Finally may add my own tribute to John Miller Kirkpatrick who died last December. I'd known John just
on two years and it was the System 68 project that
brought us together. John handled the design and
construction of the system while dealt with the production from the magazine's end. System 68 had many
teething problems but it was the first such project
tackled in this country, way ahead of its time, and John
remained enthusiastic throughout the problems and put
in vast amounts of time to get things sorted out.
The last time
saw John was at the Breadboard
exhibition. He took a keen interest in all of the stands and
no doubt had a few ideas of his own for things to tackle in
the future.

Understandig Digital Electronics

New teach -yourself courses
In the years ahead the products of digital electronics technology will play
an important part in your life. Calculators and digital watches are already,
commonplace. Tomorrow a digital display could show your vehicle

speed and petrol consumption; you could be calling people by entering
their name into a telephone which would automatically look up their.
number and dial it for you.
These courses were written by experts in electronics and learning'
systems so that you could teach yourself the theory and application of.
digital logic. Learning by self -instruction has the advantages of being
faster and more thorough than classroom learning. You work at your
own pace and must respond by answering questions on each new piece
of information before proceeding.
After completing these courses you will have broadened your career
prospects and increased your fundamental understanding of the rapidly
changing technological world around you.

POWER METER
An accurate way to determine whats
watt in your hi-fi system, with our true reading
power meter
POWER IS PROBABLY the least
understood and most misrepresented
and current remain constant no

problem arises. However in an AC or
quantity in the electric measurement

system. This is especially so in the
area of audio amplifier and speaker
specifications when terms like peak,
peak to peak, music and RMS are
related to power.
Power is simply the rate at which
energy is being used. It is expressed
in watts and the value may vary from
femtowatts (10-72 W), as in the input
power of a FET, to thousands of
megawatts in the power generation
field. The term thousand megawatts
is generally used in preference to the
more correct term. gigawatts.
Power can be calculated simply by
multiplying voltage and current:
P=E1
In a DC circuit where both voltage
DC circuit where the voltage is not

constant with time, this formula only
holds for instantaneous power as the
power varies with time. Power as we
usually use the term is the time
average of this. If the load is
resistive, i.e. contains no inductance
or capacitance, and we can measure
the RMS value of the voltage, we can
still use this simple formula. However
measuring the RMS voltage is not
easy as most voltmeters measure the
peak or average rectified voltage with
a s'iitable scaling factor built in to
give a correct result when measuring
a sine wave signal.
Reactive Reaction
If the load is reactive the current and
voltage will no longer be in phase,
- MARCH

i.e. the peaks do not occur at the

same point in time. The difference
can be, expressed either by the phase
angle in degrees or by the cosine of
this angle (known as the power

factor). The current waveform can
either be ahead of the Voltage
(leading) or behind it (lagging).
Capacitive circuits give rise to a
leading power factor while inductive
circuits lag.
If working with a sine wave, and if
the power factor is known, the
formula for power can be expressed
as:
P=EI cos"'
where/As the phase angle. In a DC
circuit cosse' is unity so the formula
holds for this case as well. An
example is a 40 W fluorescent light
which takes 430 mA from the 240 V
mains. At first sight, this implies a
67
power consumption of over 100 W,

until it is realised that its power factor
is about 0.45 lagging. The formula
above, using cos0=0.45, thus gives
a power consumption of only 46.4
W. (The additional 6 odd watts is
dissipated in the ballast.) The product
of voltage and current is known as
the VA rating and is used when
calculating the currents in a circuit. If
a capacitor is connected across a sine
wave AC circuit the current taken can
be calculated by dividing the voltage
by the reactance of the capaitor.
While this circuit draws current, it
has a power factor of very near zero
(90 phase lead) and therefore takes
no power! By adding the correct
amount of capacitance to an
inductive circuit (i.e. the fluorescent
light) the power factor can be altered,
reducing the current drawn (but not
the power).
Confused yet?
Ample Reason
Getting back to audio amplifiers and
their ratings, the problem lies in the
complex nature of the music
waveform and how to specify the
amplifier's rating. As the waveform is
far from a constant sine wave with
the peak power being anything up to
20 times the average, numerous
methods such as peak power, peak to
peak power, music power, etc.
evolved. However, for a long time
there was no set standard, and one
amplifier advertised with a 50 W
(music) rating was in fact a 5 W
stereo amplifier. The situation got so
out of hand that the US Government
brought down legislation on how
amplifiers were to be tested. This is
with a continuous sine wave signal
with level set so that the'distortion is
at a specified level and power
calculated from the RMS output
voltage: hence the term RMS power.
Note however that the term RMS
refers to the method of
measurement, i.e. the use of RMS
voltage, and it is not the RMS value
of the power waveform. It is, in fact,
the average of the power waveform.
Speakers are just as confusing.
They are normally specified not in
terms of the power they can
dissipate, but the maximum power of
amplifier they are suitable for. This is
due to the fact that music is never
(well, rarely) a continuous sine wave
and the average power in the speaker
may be only 10% of the RMS rating
of the amplifier, even with the
amplifier clipping.
68
To measure the power actually

being delivered to the speaker under
music conditions, a wattmeter must
be used.
Design Features
To multiply current and voltage
together we had the choice of
analogue or digital techniques.
Unfortunately while digital is the 'in'
thing, offering versatility and
accuracy, it is not fast enough to
calculate the instantaneous power on
high frequencies. We therefore chose
the analogue method.
Looking around the ICs, the only
ones with reasonable price and
availability were the MC 1494, 1495
and 1496. The 1496 (or 796) is the
cheapest and most readily available,
but has the disadvantage of not
being able to multiply DC signals or
AC signals with a DC offset. The 1494
and 1495 are about the same price,
and of the two, the 1494 was more
linear and easier to use.
We chose not to use any input
buffer on the voltage input but had to
pay the penalty of having a lower
input impedance than normal with
voltmeters.
Using the Power Meter

To use the meter we must measure
both voltage and current. There must

be a common point for these
measurements. The current
connection can be in either of two

ways as shown in the drawings
below. One measures the power out
of the supply and the second the
power into the load. The difference?
The current shunt in the wattmeter
drops one volt when working at the
full range value and this may or may
not affect the reading. At 10 A this
accounts for 10 W which, if the
power being measured is only 100
W, is a 10% error
although if the
measured power is 2400 W the error
is only 0.4%.
The range of the meter is the
product of the individual ranges, i.e.
on 30V and A the fsd is 30 W,
while 30 V and 3 A gives 100 W
FSD. To help give a reading
reasonably high on the scale, the
voltage range can be overvoltaged by
a factor of 2. Due to power
dissipation problems this should not
be attempted on the current ranges
The peak voltage or current can be as
high as three times the range value.
Construction
We mounted all the components
associated with the meter and the
switches on a single pc board and if
the same or similar case is to be used
this is recommended.
Except for the meter and the
switches the components are
mounted on the 'normal' side of the
pc board. These should be mounted

HOW IT WORKS
BP -
+15V
Power is the product of current and voltage. This holds irrespective of the nature
of the load, provided you are talking about
instantaneous power. By multiplying current and voltage together and then taking
the average of these instantaneous values
we find the true power. Again this works
irrespective of the load.
In this circuit the multiplying is done by
IC1 (MC1494), the output of which is a
current proportional to the product of the
inputs. For more detailed notes on this IC,
see the separate section. The current output of this IC is converted to a voltage by
IC2 with C2 providing the averaging. The
meter is then simply wired across the
output of this IC with a meter reversing
switch provided. This reversing switch is
needed not to measure negative power, but
to correct for reversed readings due to
differing external connections.
The power supply is a full wave bridge
with a centre tap giving about 4:20V DC
which is then regulated to the T- 15 V
required by IC1.
Adjustments for zeroing the voltage and
current inputs are provided by RV2 and
RV3 while RV1 compensats f. offsets in
the outpu These are supplied b

or the normal carbon trim

Calibration
BO
Four adjustments are required, which

are performed as follows:
Select the 1 V and 0.03 A fang es
and switch on. If the meter reads in
reverse, toggle SW3. Don't worry
about the reading unless it is off
scale. If it is, adjust RV1 to bring it
back towards zero. Now apply a
voltage of about 1V DC to the voltage
input and note the meter deflection.

Adjust RV2' until there is no
deflection when this voltage is
applied. Now apply the voltage to the
current input (it will take about 30
mA) and adjust RV3 until there is no
deflection. Recheck the voltage input
and readjust if necessary.
Now with no voltage applied
adjust RV1 to give zero output. Apply
exactly 1 V to both current and
voltage inputs and adjust RV4 to
make the meter read FSD.
This is all the calibration that
should be necessary.
About the 1494

The 1494 is a variable
transconductance multiplier with a

bidirectional current source output.
What this means is that it looks at
the voltage on the two points and
gives an output current potential to
the product of the two. Typical
applications include: multiply, divide,
square, square root, phase detection,
frequency doubling, balanced
modulation/demodulation and
electronic gain control. An internal
circuit diagram is given for
those interested.
Values and Limitations

For best temperature coefficient
(pin 1 to OV) should be 16k (we
used 15k as it is easier to obtain).
This sets the value of all the current
sources inside the IC (11=8/ R1)
2 The value of Rx (pin 1 1 to pin 12)
should be > 3x peak input voltage(X)
expressed in k ohms.
3 The value of Ry (pin 7 to pin 8)
should be > 6x peak input voltage(Y)
expressed in k ohms.
4 Choose the scaling factory
required ie Vout=K.Vx.Vy.

6 If RL is connected between pin 14

VISUALLY Hi FI ?
BY NOW expect most of you have already heard of the

TA -E88 preramp, the Sony flagship design. Costing a
mere 699 it has been designed to match the TA -N 88
VFET power amp, and uses FETS in the later stages of its
circuitry. Overall the finish of the unit is probably up to a
700 standard. All sockets are gold plated, and a gold
ended twin phono lead is supplied as standard. The
controls are very nice to operate, and the volume and
balance controls are very special indeed. Stepped
attenuators are employed, but the operation is so
smooth as to make you doubt it.
As you can see from the internal shot below, the
signal path lies entirely along the PCB. There are no
leads from the board carrying signal potentials, all
switches and sockets are mounted in place, and extended to the front panel where need be.
I
SONY'S TAE88 PREAMP
Shifting Load
There is even provision for switching about the resistance and capacitance associated with the magnetic
phono inputs. Gold plated switches of course. Adjustment is variable between 10k-1 OOpf and 100k-500pf.
A useful provision this.

with the moving coil inputs especially this can be no bad
thing.
The head amp incorporated is a version of Sony
marketed HA55, one of the best mains powered units on
the market, and has two possible inputimpedances.
All this and no tone controls. It should be interesting
to go through the circuit section by section, so suppose
the place to begin is the beginning.

The output is once more an emitter follower following

As shown below, the moving coil amp consists of a

differential pair with current minor driving an emitter
follower output stage.

The differential circuit consists of cascade connected
transistors to get the noise and gain figures required,
and 44dB of negative feedback is applied to lower
distortion as usual. Low impedance feedback paths like
this are fine for some applications, but need careful
design indeed to avoid becoming more of a hindrance
than a help.

Buffer stages are liberally employed in the TAE88,

For more normal pickups the TA88 employs dual FET

inputs (in cascode mode) and more conventional RC
feedback equalisation circitry. The FETs used were

developed specially for the amplifier, when your 'Sony'

You can see the circuit for the buffer circuit opposite.
Once again dual FET inputs, and if you thought that
there is a very strong similarity between this and the
phono amps,
from me.
After reading through all the imposing technical info

supplied with the unit was almost afraid to wire up the
box into my merely mortal system. suppose suspected
some form of electron snobbery whereby the TAE88
would refuse to 'talk' to any power amp of less than
immaculate pedigree.
In practice however it was a case of 'noblesse oblige'
and the Sony worked impeccably with the rest of the
universe.' Several power amplifiers were tried, including
the Lecson AP3II and a Crimson set up.
At first the TAE88 sounds very impressive with a
particularly good bass end. The treble is a little thin, but
nothing to comment adversely on. After a while though
came to suspect that maybe the unit wasn't as good as
thought at first, and perhaps adds a certain metallic
quality to the sound.
Using the unit is a treat of the first order, and it
inspires confidence better than Mr Callaghan ever did.
Reservations must inevitably include that optimistic
price level, and the less than perfect (just!) sound quality
which is as close to excellent as any other (but no
closer!), but is more expensive approximation.
A lovely machine nontheless and if Sony can pull
down the price (exit gold?) one which would have
received a wholehearted recommendation.

ETI
Alarm works well enough but

thought you may be interested in
this modification which enables a
low power audible alarm to sound
40 seconds before the main alarm.
The main advantage is that the alarm
can be set when one is retiring to bed
at night and if the alarm is inadvertently triggered at least there is enough time to turn the unit off before
the main alarm sounds. This also
applies when people come home
with the alarm set, no front door
by-pass switch is required and
accidental setting off of the alarm is
avoided. The delay time can be
varied by altering RI and Cl.

Keyboard Guitar
A. Parker
The purpose of this project is to
convert the waveform from a guitar
or other instrument into pure square
or pulse waveforms of the same
frequency. The circuit is basically a
frequency to voltage converter

feeding a linear VCO.
The construction is straightforward provided the usual care is
taken with the Cmos chips. For RV1,
2 and 3 we suggest 20 turn presets
pleted.
The tuning of the circuit is best
done using a Meter, PSU, Signal
Generator and frequency meter if
possible. First set the sig gen to
some suitable frequency (ie 100 Hz)
and using the meter between point
A and earth adjust RV2 to give a
voltage according go the formula
V = F;nx 10 -3
(for 100 Hz V= 100-V

Now using an ACCURATE PSU set
point B to +1 V and using VR3 adkHz then set to
just the output to
+10 V and adjust to 10 kHz. Now
solder RV1 and adjust until

Fm=F out
(NB This is a gross over
simplifca-
tion and patience is vital. Remember

the price of the Chips before you
throw them out of the window).

CBM Shoot
I. Holdstock
Shown here is the Shooting Program that have devised for use on
the Commodore PR -100 Programmable Calculator.
The idea is to try to shoot at targets that appear at random ranges.
To do this the operator has to guess
the correction that is necessary to
score a Bullseye. To make things
more difficult it is assumed that
there is a strong wind blowing from
the left, and the correction has to
accommodate for this as well. The
program works out where the shot
would have hit the target and gives a
score accordingly out of 5. Points
are deducted for complete misses.
The number of shots actually fired is
stored, together with the total score.
To use the program you enter the
keystrokes and go to 00. Then 1000
is entered in memory 6. Then take
the Sin of any integer less than 100
run the number obtained. A
' and
random range will be displayed.
Using the chart below the program
listing, the operator has to guess the
corrections necessary to score a
bullseye and enter them at the correct stages into the program. A score
will be displayed after the last correction. To re -use the program,
simply press run after the score has
been displayed, and a new range will
be shown. Before the second correction is entered, 0 will be displayed. If the present range has
been forgotten, it is simply obtained
by pressing MR 1. (See instructions
at the end of the program listing).

It is a cheap and easily constructed transistor tester utilising

inexpensive and readily available
14
CMOS ICs.
It not only carries out the normal
GO/NO-GO test but will differentiate between PNP & NPN type as
well as identifying their base leads.
Use of the tester is simple and is
as follows:
1) GO/NO-GO:-If the transistor is
"a dud", either all the LEDs will
come on or they will all go out.
2) PNP/ NPN differentiation:-a

PNP only one of the LEDs will come
on.
b) NPN one of the LEDs will go out.
3) base lead identification:-the

base lead is identified by the "odd

on with the other two out or the one
that is out with the other two on).

The unit will also test diodes by

anobe of the diode is identified by
the LED associated with its lead

identifies the gates of JUGFETs,

The circuit shown allows a player to

play tennis or squash against a perfect opponent, which is useful if one
wishes to practise and cannot find
another player.
the circuit 'plays' tennis or

squash simply following the ball up
and down the screen, thus it is
always in the right place in order to
hit the ball.
Although the circuit appears

simple, (it only uses one gate
from one IC!) the way it works is
quite complex, suffice to say that it
relies upon the way the AY -3-8500
games chip determines bat position
from the setting of the hand controls.
The only modifications to the TV
game are: (i) One lead connected to
the ball video output of the games
chip.
(ii) A switch wired in, selecting
either a manual or an automatic
player on the right hand bat.
(iii) This may not be necessary in
home built games that use CMOS
video mixers, but may have to be
used in commercial units that
sometimes use diode mixing
circuits. The modification is shown
and uses gates from the same IC.
This will give a brighter bat and ball
which is useful when playing

squash.
Sequence Switch
B.
Willis.
The circuit right was designed to

enable three relays to be individually
switched by their appropriate buttons but such that only one relay can
be energised at any one time. When
any one relay has been energised the
corresponding collector falls to near
zero volts, which is connected to the
base of the remaining two transis-
tors;
now if another relay is

attempted to be energised the base
of
it's transistor will remain bot-
tomed and keep the relay off. The

rest button must be pressed before
another relay can be energised. DI
ensures that each transistor is kept
off until the voltage applied to the
base exceeds 0.6 V.
The flip-flops and push buttonscan
of course be replaced with standard
switches if momentary action is not
required.
The circuit was used to control
three radio transmitters where it was
important that two should not be

switched on at the same time. The

circuit lends itself to further applications; for example, switching various

inputs into an amplifier where it can

replace the self-cancelling selector
buttons.

The PW Sandbanks Metal Locator: a kit based on this recently published design for
this uniquely effective type of metal locator is available for only 35.00 + 8% VAT.
The kit closely resembles the appearance as published, except that a close fitting
injection molded housing replaces the vacuum molded electronics box - to improve
the enviromental suitability of the construction. Carriage for complete kits 1.

Part 2 of the catalogue: by the time this advert reaches the press, part 2 should be on
sale. Sorry it's Late, but it contains so many new and interesting things that we felt we
had to hold up production to include them: Part three by the autumn -and already
there are many new items to go in! Part one 45p, part 2 50p. (inc PP etc).

The Dorchester has been described in PW Dec., Jan. and 'Feb. issues - but for those of
you who may have missed it - it is an All Band broadcast tuner, covering LW/MW/SW
and FM stereo in 6 switched ranges. Construction is very straightforward, with all the
switching being PCB mounted and the revolutionary TDA1090 IC used for AM/FM.

When the new range of OKI digital frequency display ICs was announced, the original
prototype of the Dorchester had been made - but since so manyof you wanted to use the
OKI frequency munterdisplay system with the Dorchester, we quickly designed a unit to
incorporate the necessary facilities. The Digital Dorchester is designed in 19 inch form,
and forms a perfect match for the other units in the range. If you don't want to go to
the expense of the full Ambit DFM1 module, with AM/FM/Time/Timers, then the MA1023
clock module can be used instead

That's not to say it doesn't look like HiFi - just that it doesn't look like the usual sort of
thing you have come to associate with DIY HiFi. The Mk3 outstrips and outperforms all
British made HiFi tuners, and most imported ones too. Certainly at the price, there isn't
A small pic here would be an insult,

The ICL72166 PI is still the cheapest way to make a fug 8 dig' t/ 10MHz frequency counter/timer,
and with 10 external components + display - it is also one of the simplest. For 19.82, it takes a
lot of beating. The mains filters have been extended now to in lude a 6amp IEC version at E5.10,
and with the amount of electronic noise on the average supply (next door's fridge, for instance) it
is a really worthwhile addition to any sensitive equipment. LPSN TTL now includes many more
of latest types, all - of course - are absolutely prime first quality types. And don t forget our range
of OPTO displays includes Hewlett Package high efficiency 0.43" types in all colours - renowned
as the finest quality in the market. For other types of component - discrete LEDs, radio and audio
devices, tuner modules, kits etc., see our other advertisement for more details - or send for the
AMBIT catalogue system. Pert one, (45p) includes details of our background 'standard' items, and
the new part two includes all the latest introductions and development, plus a rundown on OSTS.

NASCOM I
From 10th February 1979.

Includes VAT and carriage.
The Nascom
was exceptional value for money
at the old price, now it is unbeatable.

The Nascom I is the best possible introduction to
the world of personal computing, yet it has the
power and flexibility to be expanded into a full
data processing system.

The specification includes powerful Z80
processor, parallel I/O controller with two 8 bit
ports. DART driving cassette interface or most
serial peripherals, video output to plug in the
ariel socket of your T.V., 2K bytes of RAM (IK user
and IK video), proven IK byte monitor program in
EPROM and a spare EPROM socket.
The kit is complete, all that is required is a power
supply a domestic T.V. and a domestic cassette
recorder.
POWER SUPPLIES
There are two power supplies available, a 3 amp
supply which will power the basic kit and some
expansion and an 8 amp supply with toroidal
transformer which will power a very large system.
Both supplies can be mounted in the Nero frame.

EXPANSION
Nascom I is expanded by connection to a buffer
board which creates a 77 way bus structure
"NASBUS" into which expansion boards plug
directly. The bus structure is carried along a
motherboard which allows future boards to be
added and to keep your computer neat the
Nascom I, power supply, buffer board, mother
board and expansion boards can all be mounted
in a vero frame.

The memory expansion board can carry 16
dynamic RAM chips, these can be either 4K bit or
16K bit chips and the board is offered with8,16 or
32K bytes of RAM. The 16K board can be
expanded to 32K by plugging in 8 more 4116
chips.
The memory expansion board also has room for 4
2708 UVEPROMS each of IK bytes and a lot of
pre-programmed systems software is available
to fit these sockets.

THE FUTURE
In the near future a mini -floppy disk system will
be available with either single or double drive.
These will probably offer in excess of V: a
megabyte and 1 megabyte respectively at prices
that will allow even the hobbyist to have a large
data base. To take full advantage of the business
and scientific uses opened up by disks Nascom
intend to release several high level languages.
Looking further forwards Nascom is a developing
product, and the fact that many thousands are
now in use will ensure that the latest in computer
technology will be available at a competitive price.
