RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR FOR A TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTOR

摘要

A free running counter is sampled for a random number and the number is stored at the start of a cycle initiated by a central processor. The central processor also provides a range digit to a shift register. A traffic distributor control then controls an internal cycle to form a product from the range digit (number) and the random number from the free running counter. The final random number produced will be returned to the processor and will be less than the range digit given to the traffic distributor from the processor.
