REAL TIME CLOCK

A special input register may be connected to operate as a Real Time

Clock. This is a counting register operated by a crystal controlled

oscillator. The clock can be reset to zero by manual operation. A toggle

switch interlock prevents an accidental reset. The state of this counter

may be read at any time by the appropriate In-Out Transfer instruction.
