AN ADVANCED MODULAR SYSTEM OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT FOR ON-LINE COMPUTER APPLICATIONS

摘要

Representatives from major nuclear laboratories in Europe have collaborated, under the title of the ESONE Committee, in defining a standard physical form and other basic features for a new modular unit System of electronic instrumentation. The design of this system anticipates the inevitable future prominence of integrated circuit components. It further takes into account the current trend, in scientific work, towards the 'real-time' association of transducers with computers or other data processors for the collection, display and analysis of measurement data and for the purpose of control.nThis presentation sets out the design principles, which have evolved from the ESONE Committee and its two Working Groups, and gives an interpretation of the role which equipments designed to the new standard could play. A description is also included but without the detail contained in appropriate definitive documents to which reference is essential.
