Abstract :
A general purpose microprocessor-based system aimed at the development of a host of automated test and control applications is presented. The system and I/O interface architectures are detailed with emphasis on the philosophical motivation underlying their organizations. The advantages and system implications of microcomputer controlled automation systems, along with software structure and development considerations, are outlined.
