Abstract

An offline analysis system for low-energy nuclear physics was developed at the INFN-LNS (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Laboratorio Nazionale del Sud, Catania, Italy) using several 68020 VME CPUs and a MacIntosh II connected with two screens: an E-Machines T19 large color monitor (19-in, 1024×808 pixels) for spectral visualization and a standard AppleColor monitor (13-in, 640×480 pixels) for command visualization. The MacIntosh II is connected to the VMEbus by means of a Micron-MacVEE interface. The LISA program was considerably elaborated to perform parallel spectra building. A performance analysis of the system is outlined
