2.9 Two basic modes of a radiation machine. In a real-time system like Therac-25, the software must operate at the speed demanded by the system inputs and outputs. The total time for the interaction de- scribed above was under 8 seconds. It turns out that this particular sequence of actions within this timeframe had never occurred in all of the testing and evalua-
