INSERT[DisplayDefs];*Defs file common to DisplayInit and Display

:TITLE[DisplayInit];*Ed Fiala 24 January 1983

%Jump to DisplayInit from DeviceInit running as DisplayTask. Determine the
terminal configuration from bits 10..14b of the UTVFC ID register:
LFStar keyboard/LF monitor = 3 (resident);
CSLFCSL keyboard/LF monitor = 11b (1st overlay); and
CSLCSL keyboard/CSL monitor = 5 (also 1st overlay).
Initialization for all of these is contained here. When started by Initial,
Star keyboard microcode is resident and CSL keyboard microcode resides in
the next overlay--it overwrites the resident if loaded. Initialization
begins by either loading the overlay into IMX or skipping LoadRAM’s pointers
past the overlay. When running with Midas, no overlays are in core, and the
microcode is used as loaded. The Star keyboard driver is larger, requiring
a 40b-word table and about 32b more mi on lfKBPage than the CSL keyboard.

The CSLOverlay integer controls assembly of this source to produce the
microcode configuration required. This same initialization is used for
both LF and CSL keyboard drivers and monitors. Both drivers are built from
Display.Mc which contains conditional assemblies for code specific to a
keyboard; assembled as is, Display.Mc produces code for a CSL keyboard
(either monitor); LFDisplay.Mc changes assembly switches and does
INSERT[Display] to make the Star keyboard configuration. The Star and CSL
keyboard drivers are entirely different, but the code for displaying a
scanline is independent of which monitor is used. Also, HRAM initialization
below is different.

Monitors require a certain time/scanline which must be divided in a specified
ratio between forward scan and horizontal sync--hardware adjustments cannot
compensate for much variation, and for a particular hardware adjustment,
all microcode systems should use the same operating parameters. With a
50 mhz oscillator, the LF monitor requires 1080 bits forward scan and 360
bits horizontal sync totalling 28.8 us/scanline. With a 20 mhz oscillator,
the CSL monitor requires 652 bits forward and 104 bits horizontal sync
totalling 38 us/scanline. The forward scan consists of blanked area,
image, visible constant, and blanked area. The UTVFC limits image size of
the image+visible constant to 1024 bits or less. The visible constants would
be setup by initializing the pingpong buffers to some pattern, but this isn’t
done below (i.e., the size of the visible constant is 0).

For the LF monitor, it was empirically determined that hardware adjustments
could compensate for substantial sweep rate variations by adding (invisible)
scanlines at the end of each field before vertical sync. In DisplayDefs.Mc,
the vVSStart parameter may be varied between about 11b and 300b to control
field rate. At 11b (77 fields/sec), no flicker is noticeable; at 140b (65
fields/sec), flicker is just barely noticeable; at 300b (55 fields/sec)
flicker definitely degrades the picture. Increasing vVSStart without hardware
adjustments spreads the picture vertically, so not much software flexibility
is permissible for a given hardware adjustment. The ability to operate at
less than maximum field rate is potentially of interest because the display
task averages roughly 25 percent of all cycles at 77 fields/sec compared to
20 percent at 65 fields/sec, which improves the emulator’s machine share from
about 74 to 78 percent (= 6 percent faster). However, all systems presently
use 77 fields/sec except when videotaping computer sesssions. To obtain
60 Hz rate for videotaping, change lfVSStart to lvVSStart =
[1/28.8 us x 60 Hz] - [808/2] - lfSyncLength - lfBlankLength - 14 =
579 - 404 - 9 - 13 - 14 = 139d = 213b.

For the CSL monitor, little variation in vertical parameters is possible; the
current choice results in 60 fields/second.

A CSL monitor is 608 visible bits/scanline x 808 visible scanlines; the LF
monitor is 1080 x 861, but this microcode reduces its capability to
1024 x 808, compatible with the CSL display, by framing 608 visible bits by
equal size blanked areas to the left and right, so the monitors must be
adjusted to be full-screen at 808 scanlines. Pilot also runs the monitors
at 808 scanlines for compatibility.

For the CSL monitor, vBufStart = 150b, so 230b nibbles (=608 bits =38 words)
of data are supplied by the task per scanline; an additional 5b nibbles of
forward scan occur while blanking just before and just after horizontal sync;
and there are 32b nibbles of horizonal sync. The midline bit in HRam appears
1/2 x (230b+12b+32b) = 136b nibbles after the end of horizontal sync. Since
data begins at AAR=150b, ML should appear at 150b+136b-5b = nibble 301b.

For the LF monitor, 1080d bits (= 416b nibbles) are in forward scan, 360d
bits (= 132b nibbles) are horizontal sync; ML appears (416b+132b)/2 = 264b
nibbles after horizontal sync. Since data begins at AAR=150b, ML should
appear at 150b+264b-number of blanked nibbles following horizontal sync, or
at AAR=434b-number of blanked nibbles following horizontal sync.

Current convention is that the 608-wide screen is framed by 236 blank bits
on each side. In nibbles this is 59 (73b) blanked nibbles both before and
after a visible field of 230b nibbles.

Total vert blanking = vVSStart + vSyncLength + vBlankLength + 14d scanlines.

%Since HRam is only 256 bits long, it is necessary to take advantage of the
fact that the Switch bit is ignored unless blanking is in force. On each
scanline, AAR is initialized to vBufSt (150b) and then cycles until SetC
is turned on to start blanking and then until the Switch bit occurs.
Hence, initialization must setup a total line time such that data bits+
blanking bits = 1088+352, where at least 608 of the bits must be data bits
and 352 of bits must be blanked with horizontal sync true; the other 480
bits may be displayed as a constant value or blanked, as chosen, and the
blanked bits may be divided arbitrarily between the left and right parts
of the display. The code below shows 256 nibbles data, 16 nibbles blanking,
and 88 nibbles horizontal sync.
NOTE: Initializing HRam takes about 408*18 = 7344 cycles; during this time,
tasking doesn’t take place, so refresh will not take place.

%HRam has just been initialized to 652 forward and 104 reverse = 756
bits/scanline for CSL monitors or to 1080 forward and 360 reverse = 1440
bits/scanline for LF monitors. This establishes a scanline time of 28.800 us
(LF) or 37.800 us (CSL). We want to utilize these times to determine the
unknown processor clock period by counting cycles/scanline. To discriminate
40 mhz (100 ns/cycle), 44.5 mhz (89.886 ns/cycle), and 50 mhz (80 ns/cycle)
processor clocks, DisplayTask counts scanlines in a six-cycle loop while the
emulator executes a six-cycle loop 65536d times. The predicted scanline
count is 6*65536*C/(L-(6*C)-X), where L is time/scanline, C is processor clock
period, and X is other task overhead/scanline in 100 ns units. The computation
below ignores all components of X except the refresh timer at L*(18/2560).
So the computations are (393216*C)/(288-6*C-2) for LF monitors or
(393216*C)/(378-6*C-3) for CSL monitors.
