UVA ADEPT:

Token Handling

-- Notes Page --


ADEPT has many procedures and functions defined to handle the user-defined data type token. Some of the procedures and functions are presented here.

The first four procedures are used for dependent output and data input. These procedures perform the handshaking necessary for data tokens which require a fully interlocked communication protocol between a master and a slave.

The last three procedures handle independent or control tokens. Control tokens do no handshaking protocol because the master may place and remove them independently of what the slave does with the tokens.
