Data acquisition and process control system for HFEF

The Data Acquisition and Process Control System (DAPCS) is a system for digital data acquisition and automatic control at selected examination stations of the HFEF Complex. The system is intended to be applied wherever the quantity and repetitive nature of examinations makes manual operation unattractive; a primary application is on precision gamma scanners. When controlling the gamma scanners and other devices that use element-positioning stages, the DAPCS supervises the scanning of irradiated elements and the taking of data as a function of position on the elements. The DAPCS is capable of a wide range of examination, monitoring, and data-compilation tasks
