ABSTRACT:
In a data processing and distribution system, a data sorter is disclosed for receiving formatted blocks of digital data, acting on those blocks according to the informational content stored therein and responsive to control data stored within the data sorter, and generating sorting tags to be added to the data blocks for proper identification by one or more data processors. Selected portions of each data block provide addressing signals to a memory which output data is compared to specified values. For one value of memory output data, the entire data block is dumped; for a second value, the contents of the addressed memory location are changed to a selected value; for a small range of values of memory output data, a new memory location is accessed; and for the balance of the values, the memory output data is the sorting tag to be combined with the data block. The data sorter is capable of having its memory tables altered by an external processor, thereby providing adaptive and flexible control of the data sorting function.
