Autonomous system for goniometer control

Hardware and software of goniometer control system (GCS) performed in CAMAC standard is described. It consists of a crate of controller performed on the base a K5801K80 microprocessor memory units for storage programs and data as separate CAMAC modules, a goniometer control module, control units for separate axes and digital display. To store programs the memory device on the base of reprogrammable constant memory devices is used. The goniomcontrol module serves as an interface between crate controller and control units for separate axes of goniometer. It permits to test current position of axes (angles of turn form coordinate origin) which is especially important for reliable operation of the system. The software consists of a monitor, goniometers, driver, and set of applied programs. It provides the communication of operator with the GCS
