Abstract :
A single crate controller has been developed to run with an automatic, blocking DMA channel. The execution of a CAMAC command stored in the controller is triggered by a selected LAM. An analog-to-digital (ADC) interface module utilizes the features of this controller module to store multiparameter pulse height analysis data in a core memory buffer. Four ADC´s can be operated in combinations of singles and coincidence mode with automatic stacking provided. The above modules have been in operation in the laboratory since February, 1973.
