A CAMAC System for Remote Data Acquisition

A CAMAC System has been developed at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory to interface with a remotely located computer. The system operating characteristics and several modules developed at LLL are described. These modules are two read-only controllers - one for single crate and one for multiple crate operation, a serial peak detector, three different time interval meters, a serial bit stream generator, a parallel input gate, an A/D converter and its associated modular memory, and a pulse generator. A CAMAC data display which reads a serial bit stream but is not a CAMAC module is also described.
