List or Sort? - Some Experience with the ORIC Multiparameter Data Acquisition System

The data acquisition system at the ORIC is reviewed, and several of the data acquisition techniques used are described. The experience of two years of data acquisition with the system is discussed, and a special effort is made to assess the merits and capabilities of an associative memory technique. A current development in the programs for data acquisition is sketched, and a simple graphics technique for line printers is presented which permits plotting 3 data points per line.
