This thesis presents the development of a microprocessor based navigational system. The integrated system is capable of determining depth to the bottom, distance to the surface, and velocity of a deep towed submersible. The system also alerts the user to any reduction to forward safe distance limit. A discussion of the hardware used to gather the data is presented. Software development is discussed in great detail. The system utilizes the Sixty Five Hundred microprocessor family. Advantages...

The integrated system is capable of determining depth to the bottom, distance to the surface, and velocity of a deep towed submersible. The system also alerts the user to any reduction to forward safe distance limit. A discussion of the hardware used to gather the data is presented. Software development is discussed in great detail. The system utilizes the Sixty Five Hundred microprocessor family. Advantages include cost effectiveness and application versatility.

The capabilities and limitations of Programmable Array Logic devices (PALs) are presented and compared to other logic devices. PALs are field programmable devices and a program called PALSAM exists to assist the designer in programming PALs. The attributes and limitations of PALSAM are discussed. The PALSAM Input Data File Generator program was written to eliminate many of the limitations of PALSAM. The need for an algorithmic method of reducing a general logic expression to a minimal sum-of...
Show moreThe capabilities and limitations of Programmable Array Logic devices (PALs) are presented and compared to other logic devices. PALs are field programmable devices and a program called PALSAM exists to assist the designer in programming PALs. The attributes and limitations of PALSAM are discussed. The PALSAM Input Data File Generator program was written to eliminate many of the limitations of PALSAM. The need for an algorithmic method of reducing a general logic expression to a minimal sum-of-products form is demonstrated. Several algorithms are discussed. The Zissos, Duncan and Jones Algorithm, which claims to produce a minimal sum-of-products expression but is presented without proof by its authors, is disproved by example. A modification of this algorithm is presented without proof. When tested in the 276 possible cases involving up to three variables, this new algorithm always produced a minimal sum-of-products expression, while the original algorithm failed in six of these cases. Finally, the PALSAM Input Data File Generator program which uses the modified algorithm is presented and documented.
