Versatile PDP-11 CAMAC Crate Controller for Nuclear Data Acquisition and Processing

A crate system controller has been designed with the aim to offer an economical and simple interface between CAMAC Dataway and Unibus of the PDP-11. This unit has the capability of transferring commands as well as 16 or 24 bit data words between the computer and a single module in programmed, increment to memory, add to memory and block transfer mode. An interrupt vector-generator module provides fast LAM handling. In line with the purpose to provide a versatile system the software for controlling the interface was kept simple and powerful.
