Kl8-ja Teletype Test

This document serves as the technical documentation for the KL8-JA Teletype Test, a diagnostic software package designed to test various teletype models (including the LT33, LT35, and KSR37) for the PDP-8/E family of processors.

Key Features of the Document:

• Purpose: Provides instructions for testing the reader, printer, punch, and keyboard functions of connected teletype equipment.
• Requirements: Requires a PDP-8/E series processor with at least 4K of memory and the appropriate terminal control/data interface.
• Test Procedures: The document details specific test routines (PRG0 through PRG7), including reader tests, printer exercisers, punch tests, and binary count pattern generation.
• Configuration: Includes specific instructions for device code selection and setting memory locations to prepare the system for testing.
• Operations & Troubleshooting: Outlines operator actions, normal program halts, and error descriptions to assist in diagnosing hardware issues during testing.
• Program Listings: The latter half of the document provides the full assembly listing of the diagnostic software, including memory locations, instruction codes, and comments.
