| Popis: | ICAMS (Interactive Computer Assisted Measurement System) is designed to permit the acquisition and analysis of emulsion scan and measurement data at a rate much faster than any existing manual techniques. It accomplishes this by taking the burden of stage motion control and data recording away from the scanner and putting it onto the computer. It is a modern distributed network system, where a central PDP-11 computer running under RSX-11M V4 communicates with two-ported UNIBUS memory; each two-ported memory resides on the local intelligence of each independent ODS (Optical Data Station). The intelligence of each ODS is a 6512 microcomputer running under FORTH and enhanced with a floating point processor card. Each ODS is supported on ICAMS using the virtual memory features of FORTH, permitting full access to the disk storage facilities of the PDP system. To the scanner, each ODS is conversational and menu driven. To the physicist, utilities have been written that permit FORTRAN-77 programs to easily acquire and thus analyze the data base on the PDP-11. |
