  • Abstract
    An unusual solution to the problem of remote operation of CAMAC data systems has been implemented at the Clinton P. Anderson Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF). Data-link communications from a remote CAMAC system, controlled only by a Microprogrammed Branch Driver (MBD), to another CAMAC system coupled to a digital computer, can effectively extend the CAMAC branch highway to several hundred meters.
