A digital control system for a nuclear physics laboratory

Abstract

An integrated hardware-software system for monitoring and controlling experimental equipment in nuclear structure experiments at the Yale University Wright Nuclear Structure Laboratory is described. In this system, the control and monitoring of symbolically addressed devices is multiprogrammed with other tasks. Where possible, the details of a control operation are handled by an external control unit rather than by the computer itself.
