The Data General Nova 800Minicomputer as a Digital Controller.

摘要

The Data General Nova 800 minicomputers is described in detail. An analysis is made of its instruction set and a description is given of available peripheral equipment. The specification criteria for A/D and D/A devices is discussed and the selection of specific devices is supported. The DT 1620 data acquisition system and the DT 212 D/A converter are described. The interface considerations for adapting the A/D and D/A converters to the Nova system are discussed. Programming examples for the combined system are given. A system operation tutorial is offered which includes a programmed instruction section to efficiently familiarize the prospective user. Finally, examples of system use as a digital controller are provided. (Author)
