ABSTRACT:
A data processing apparatus has a number of data processors connected in a series by data lines so that data signals are processed in a preceding processor and communicated to a succeeding processor in the series. The apparatus has a number of control elements, where a control element has first and second inputs receiving processor status signals and an output sending a signal to enable processing. The control element output assumes a certain output state only if both inputs assume the state. The output, having assumed the state, holds the state, despite one of the inputs not holding the state, only if a certain one of the inputs does hold the state.
