What they were doing is mimicking indicator panels on old mainframe computers of the 1950s and 60s.
Those machine would typically have indicator lamps on each bit of various data and instruction buses and indicators on various flag bits (overflow, underflow, zero, fault, etc.) What they were there for is in computers made out of vacuum tubes in particular and discrete transistors to a lesser extent is it was fairly common to get a bit stuck due to a burned out tube or a dead transistor. While the computer is fetching instructions and data, a person could look at those indicators and notice that a bit was stuck high or low and then trace down the defective component and replace it. There were never to convey real detailed information beyond "are these bits toggling". |

The Enterprise computer system is controlled by three primary main processor cores, cross-linked with a redundant melacortz ramistat, fourteen kiloquad interface modules. The core element is based on an FTL nanoprocessor with 25 bilateral kelilactirals, with twenty of those being slaved into the primary heisenfram terminal. Now, you do know what a bilateral kelilactiral is? View Quote |
