An example will illustrate how the computer assists the operation. Joe Smith delivers a truck load of grain to the elevator, and is directed by the central control board operator(CBO) to receiving pit. Using an alphanumeric keyboard, the CBO types in Smith's account number, the code number of the receiving pit(origin) and the code number of the selected bin(destination) in which his grain will be stored. The computer then determines all possible alternate routes between the receiving pit and the bin and displays them in detail on the video screen. The operator selects the route he wants to use by typing in the proper instruction. All but the selected route codes disappear from the video screen. The computer then determines all possible simultaneous routes that could be used without interference; the operator may later select any of these routes for another operation. 1, record 4, English, - central%20control%20board%20operator

Nous allons nous servir d'un exemple pour illustrer comment l'ordinateur assiste le fonctionnement du silo. Joe Smith arrive au silo avec un camion de grain et le préposé au tableau de commande principal (PTC) le dirige vers une fosse de réception. A l'aide d'un clavier alphanumérique, le préposé introduit dans l'ordinateur le numéro de compte de M. Smith, le code de la fosse de réception (point de départ) et le code de la cellule (destination) où le grain de M. Smith sera stocké. L'ordinateur détermine alors tous les itinéraires possibles entre la fosse de réception et la cellule en question et les affiche sur l'écran de contrôle. Le préposé choisit l'itinéraire voulu en tapant l'instruction appropriée. Les codes correspondant à tous les autres itinéraires disparaissent de l'écran. L'ordinateur détermine alors tous les itinéraires partiels qui peuvent être suivis simultanément sans qu'il y ait d'obstacle; le préposé peut choisir plus tard n'importe lequel de ces itinéraires pour une autre opération. 1, record 4, French, - pr%C3%A9pos%C3%A9%20au%20tableau%20de%20commande%20principal
