HRS-100 - Analog Computer

Analog Computer

Analog component of HRS-100 system is composed of up to seven analog machines all connected to the common-control panel. It contains all elements required to independently solve linear and non-linear differential equations, both directly and iteratively.

Units of analog computer:

  • linear analog calculation elements
  • non-linear analog calculation elements
  • parallel logic elements
  • electronic potentiometer system
  • calculation module and parallel logic control system
  • periodic block
  • control system
  • address system
  • measurement system
  • exchangeable program board (analog and digital)
  • reference voltage supply

Linear analog computer elements were designed to facilitate 0.01% precision in static mode and 0.1% in dynamic mode, for signals up to 1kHz. Non-linear elements precision was not required to be better than 0.1%.

Analog component of HRS-100 has its own peripheral units:

  • multi-channel ultraviolet writer
  • three-colour oscilloscope
  • X-Y writer

Famous quotes containing the word computer:

    The computer takes up where psychoanalysis left off. It takes the ideas of a decentered self and makes it more concrete by modeling mind as a multiprocessing machine.
    Sherry Turkle (b. 1948)
