Abstract
The data structure of a table driven, on-line experimental control language is described. Multi-linked record blocks are used to represent the set of possible experimental states and to store relevant information about significant internal and external events that may initiate transitions between states. Code compiled by an algebraic compiler coexists with the state network and performs foreground or background numerical calculations on the network's variables. The data structure has affinities with certain symbolic manipulating languages, notably CORAL.Keywords
