SAMAC program: the computer support for a stand-alone monitoring and control system

Description

The high energy physics experiments at SLAC require constant monitoring and control of the numerous components contained in the particle detection apparatus. This paper describes a basic hardware configuration and operating system which have been designed and implemented to satisfy the monitoring and control requirements of the many different setups used in these high energy physics experiments. It is based on the LSI-11 microprocessor with up to one million words of RAM and EPROM which are interchangeably mappable into the normal LSI-11 RAM/EPROM address space of 28K words. The entire system is modular in hardware and software so that it can easily be tailored to an individual experiment. The human interface is such that little training is required for effective use of the system
