• Fast Data and Status Transfer - The speed of the Encore and Harris computer interface cards (HSDII and BBC) determine the transfer rate. In most cases, the GHIF adds no delays.
• Bi-directional Data and Status Transfer - The GHIF transfers data and status in either direction between the Encore and Harris computers.
• Data Formatting - The GHIF adjusts the word format between the 32-bit word Encore computer and the 24-bit word Harris computer.
• Variable Transfer Operations - With software selection, transfers can consist of a single word or multiple-word blocks.
• Data Integrity - Status signals relayed among the cards provide for smooth and accurate transfer.
• Easy Installation - The GHIF plugs into the rear of the Encore computer chassis opposite the HSDII card. Four 40-conductor ribbon cables run from the GHIF to the Harris BBC.

Either the HSDII (Encore) or the BBC (Harris) can control the GHIF. Under software control, either of these boards can issue commands, reformat data, transfer data, request and receive status, open a channel to the other computer, and reset the GHIF. The GHIF is a hardware only product. No software is supplied by Applied Data Sciences.

Installation of the GHIF is easy. It requires plugging in the GHIF card plus setting jumpers on the Encore HSDII and Harris BBC cards. The GHIF plugs into the rear of the Encore computer chassis opposite the HSDII card. Four 40-conductor cables connect the GHIF to the Harris BBC. Only one jumper must be set on the Encore HSDII. The Harris BBC requires the setting of two jumpers. Each GHIF board comes complete with installation instructions and connecting cables.

The GHIF reformats data between the 32-bit Encore and 24-bit Harris word structures. The GHIF can transfer data in any of three formats - floating point, integer or fixed point, and bit format. Sign bits are never altered during reformatting.
