Automation of the Transmitting System

This is a survey of the feasibility of using a minicomputer for the automatic control of the Standard Broadcast transmitting system. Minicomputers are used to control industrial processes much more complex than the transmitting system. Consideration is given to a new instrumentation and the Commission´s Rules, which will be required if automatic control is implemented. The primary result of an automatic-control installation is improved control of the system. The minicomputer can be used to perform most of the diagnostic functions of the engineer.
