Abstract
Abstract A digital transmitter (13) for transmitting serial words of predetermined length at selected speeds for output at a plurality of parallel channels (120, 120'). The words selected for series transmission at said parallel output channels (120, 120') are sequentially repeatedly applied to a multiplexer (89) which forwards selected bits from these words at fixed and variably setable speeds to a selected shift register (101 or 102) and latch (105 or 106), combination for output transmission.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
234 words
A method for producing words of information at a predetermined number of parallel output channels of a digital transmitter, each of the words being serially output at a selected one of said output channels, said method comprising the steps of: receiving said information in parallel from an established data base for storage in a memory means for receiving said information; carrying said information on a bus means for carrying said information to said memory means in order temporarily to hold said information for reapplication onto said bus means; selecting corresponding bits of information from a plurality of words applied onto said bus means, with a multiplexer means for selecting bits of information from said bus means; applying a predetermined number of said words onto said bus means to permit the selection of corresponding bits of said words by said multiplexer means with a controller means for controlling the operation of said digital transmitter; receiving said predetermined number of corresponding bits of information from said multiplexer means for producing said corresponding bits of said words for serial output at said parallel channels with a shift means for receiving said bits of information; and repeatedly receiving said corresponding bits of words from said shift means and latching them with respect to respective ones of said output channels, until each of the bits in each of said words has been produced at one of said output channels.
