Real-time computer analysis for nuclear material detection. Part 3. Nuclear instrumentation interface
An electronic interface between a Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) LSI-11 microcomputer and a LeCroy Research Systems model 3001 qVt multichannel analyzer is described in detail. This interface provides for 16-bit parallel data transfer from the memory of the analyzer to the memory of the computer. An unusual feature of the interface is a provision that allows storage of counts of logic pulses (e.g., from radiation detector discriminators) in the first 16 channels of the analyzer's memory. A further provision allows use of a LeCroy printer and display interface that is designed specifically as a companion module to the qVt analyzer
