A Macintosh-II CAMAC multi-parameter data acquisition system for nuclear physics experiments

An Apple Macintosh-II CAMAC data acquisition system has been developed based on a Nubus crate controller with custom drivers and display software written in C. This system provides much enhancement performance (to several events/sec) relative to GPIB or RS232-based CAMAC systems. The software provides a user-friendly multiwindow environment with pull down menus, multiparameter grating, and event-mode recording. The MAC-II system has been effectively utilized in a number of experiments such as a search for cold-fusion from Ti+D/sub 2/ loading (and unloading) at cryogenic temperatures.<
