Abstract
This paper describes a powerful multichannel analyzer which has been developed around a popular 16-bit microprocessor family and an embedded firmware operating system. Judicious use of bus standards and separate high speed acquisition and display data paths have resulted in a reliable architecture optimized for MCA design. To facilitate the man-machine interface, a careful blend of dedicated function keys coupled with a touch sensitive color video display is used for setup, control and analysis.
