Abstract :
A versatile master control system for nuclear physics instrumentation systems is described which is designed to act as an interface between the instruments and an on-line computer or programmable control system. The system utilizes diode-pin matrix boards at each instrument to route command signals over a set of program lines which are common to all instruments. Thus an output control command signal from one instrument can be routed via any program line to control command inputs of any other instruments.
