Apple-CAMAC Data Acquisition Systems

Apple microcomputers have been combined with CAMAC to produce data acquisition systems used for a variety of applications at the Princeton Cyclotron Laboratory. Two specific implementations are discussed: a general one or two parameter MCA system and a specific eleven parameter system. A multiplicity of off-line experiments led to the need for these systems having data manipulation and control ability beyond that of low cost systems available commercially. A serial communications port allows for data transfer to our main computer for more complete analysis.
