Advisor Operation

The following shows how the Advisor function operates. The controller
program must reset the ACK and NAK bits after writing a screen number.

Controller writes screen number to assigned Read Register.

DTAM reads advisor read register and
displays corresponding screen (if valid).

Controller monitoring ACK bit clears
ACK/NAK bits for next screen number.

DTAM writes Advisor write register
ACK bit indicating that the screen dis-
play was changed. Or writes NAK bit
if an invalid screen was read

If the controller sends an invalid screen number (not a programmed screen)
the DTAM writes the write register NAK bit (always next sequential bit
following ACK bit). The NAK bit indicates to the controller that the screen
number is incorrect.
