Average Response Computer

This document is an interoffice memorandum from April 8, 1960, regarding the Average Response Computer (ARC) program. The ARC program is designed to extract weak signals from high levels of noise by taking successive measurements of the same input portion, summing them, and storing them in memory. As the sample size increases, the signal display shows reduced distortion. The document provides detailed operating instructions, an explanation of sense switch and test word bit functions for controlling sampling and display, and a complete assembly code listing for the program.
