A Stand Alone Data Collection Station Based on an Autonomous CAMAC Crate

The increasing cost of software and hardware for complex acquisition and control systems has made it desirable to implement small stand alone systems with less complex software and more versatile hardware. This paper discusses two applications of an autonomous CAMAC crate based on an LSI-11 controller. The first application is an EKG gated single probe system for cardiac ejection fraction measurement. The second is the control system for a rectilinear scanner in a low level counting facility.
