Description

A special tagged arithmetic system has been developed for use with FORTRAN pro grams written to process experimental data. The tagged arithmetic system carries a condition code with every numerical value and uses a special output to call attention to answers computed by using questionable input data. The questionable input data may result from instrumentation o r data recording system malfunctions, which can cause ill-conditioned calculations that result in process-time faults or error conditions.
