Abstract
A computer system for processing analog and digital data input signals from many sources and producing analog and digital data output control signals includes a plurality of digital processing devices for processing the input data, a Processor Bus that interconnects the processing devices for relatively very high speed data transmission between the processing devices a plurality of analog and digital input and output data converter modules, a Converter Bus that interfaces the converter modules and a controller device that couples the Processor Bus and the Converter Bus together and controls the flow of signals therebetween, whereby analog and digital input data received at a range of data rates from relatively low to relatively high rates by input converter modules is transmitted on the Converter Bus to the Processor Bus, via the controller device, in digital format and is processed in the digital format at relatively very high data rates by one or more of the processing devices and digital output data from the processing devices is transmitted on the Processor Bus to the Converter Bus via the controller device and is converted by the converter modules which produce system outputs.
