Abstract
A minicomputer based CAMAC automation system for simultaneous operation of independent analytical instruments is described. An approach to application software development in a real-time multi-user environment is discussed. The necessity of using queued I/O for the CAMAC branch driver is emphasized. Various techniques for efficient main memory management are also outlined.
