Summary This document outlines the diagnostic testing procedure for the Extended Arithmetic Element (EAE) Type 182 option on the PDP-8 computer. The test verifies the hardware's divide and multiply functions, as well as divide overflow detection, by comparing hardware results against a software-simulated calculation using pseudo-random parameters. The document provides the necessary system requirements, memory storage locations, loading instructions via binary loader, and the specific switch register settings required to initiate the test.
