TLDR
A hierarchical computer network for monitoring and controlling experimental processes that consists of micro and minicomputers for interfacing a variety of experiments to the network, and a communications control computer to link the network to a large scale digital computer for processing experimental data.Abstract:
This paper discusses a hierarchical computer network for monitoring and controlling experimental processes. The computer network consists of micro and minicomputers for interfacing a variety of experiments to the network, a medium scale process control computer for data reduction and formatting, and a communications control computer to link the network to a large scale digital computer for processing experimental data. Some of the hardware and software requirements at each level of the network are discussed. The application of the network is illustrated with experiments operating at different levels in the network.read more

Design of a Multimicroprocessor-Based Controller Using a Structured Design Approach
TL;DR: A structured approach to both the design and testing of a complex robotic controller has been used to decompose the design/test task into manageable subtasks and it is demonstrated that the structured method helps to anticipate design andTesting problems by shifting effort toward the initial stages.
Hardware andSoftware Interface ofa Spectrophotometer System toa PDP-11 Digital Computer
TL;DR: The interfacing of a spectrophotometer with a digital computer is discussed and spectral and environmental data from agricultural crops and products to estimate yield and disease is collected and measures.
