INTRODUCTION
This outline has been written in a modular form to facilitate up-
dating and addition of new material.
It consists of a basic module covering device independent topics.
Following this basic module will be device dependent modules. These
will be added as they are developed for the various categories of
devices, e.g., 1050, 2260, binary synchronous. They should in no
way affect the basic module.
The basic module covers:
Basic operation of BTAM
BTAM buffering
BTAM macros
General channel programming considerations
Essentially the device dependent modules cover:
Hardware
Line control
Channel programs
Programming example
Special considerations related to the device
Class problem
It is recommended the instructor uses the basic module and foils
as the basis for his instructions. However, he should incor-
porate into his presentation examples and material's from the var-
ious device modules. The interests of the students should dictate
what material is used from the various modules.
The best BTAM class will be one where the instructor has a good
knowledge of BTAM and can run the class as a workshop where there
is adequate machine time to do the selected class problems.
