Abstract :
CAMAC provides an interface through which a computer interacts with its environment. External parameters are represented by hardware registers which are accessed by the computer in a unifom manner, therefore explicit I/O coding is unnecessary. The paper discusses the implications of implied I/O on software efficacy in real time systems.
