A CAMAC System for the Automatic Testing of Photomultiplier Tubes

This paper details the requirements of a dual multi-channel analyser system for use in the production testing of photomultiplier tubes. It describes how the system was effected by use of a CAMAC series of modules used to route data between the measurement facilities and a minicomputer, and how the computer program was designed to control the acquisition and provide a rapid visual record of the performance of each tube in order to increase the production testing throughput.
