MCA FOCAL:A Real-Time Programming Systemnfor Multichannel Analysis on a PDP-9/PDP-15 Computer

摘要

A programming system based on a modified FOCAL interpreter is described for a PDP-9/PDP-15 computer equipped with specific hard¬ware. User programs written in FOCAL may be used to control the acquisition of multichannel pulse height data and perform data analysis. A switch panel and CRT display with a light pen are utilized to allow the user a high degree of interaction with the data acquisition routines.
