Abstract :
The computer and Branch Driver are the two most expensive devices associated with a typical CAMAC system. This paper describes a device which has been designed to replace both the computer and the Branch Driver of many systems - at less than half the cost. Algen (a contraction of algorithm generator) may also be used with a computer, serving as a unique Branch Driver which can relieve the computer program of many "housekeeping" duties.
