Channel Switch
The Channel switch selects one of ten channels. Each channel number is
converted to a four-digit BCD code that is applied to input demultiplexer U14
on the Processor board through the Display board where the processor reads
the four BCD lines and selects the appropriate channel. These lines are held
high (+5V) until they are forced low by the BCD encoder within the switch,
therefore 0 = +5V and 1 = 0V.
