Rewind a blank cassette and put recorder into record mode. Wait 10 seconds and flip RUN up to initiate the program. The byte at location 0033 will be continuously recorded on tape. Flip RUN down to stop recording after a minute or so. You can play this tape to check the signals shown below. You can also load the tape into memory for testing purposes. Load 7 pages starting at 0100. You can use this tape to determine the proper volume control setting for your recorder. You can change the recorded byte at 0033 if desired. Bits on tape consist of one cycle at 2 kHz for
"0" or one cycle at 0.8 kHz for "1". Data format is 4 seconds of continuous "0's" for sync followed by the specified number of data bytes. Bytes always begin with a "1" start bit (S) followed by 8 data bits
