The 240 is able to advance sequentially through program steps stored on either the paper tape or disk unit, with basic program control flow (stop or branch) available, driven by the status of the limit indicators on the 230. Each test can be programmed to occur once or twice, in order to minimize the chance of errors due to transients. Each test contains the address of the next test, and a branch status simply adds one to that address.  Through J302, addressing functions can be monitored and controlled; presumably more advanced program flow control could be implemented using a computer.
