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)
