Abstract

A CAMAC Branch Driver is described which provides multiple channel direct memory access to a host computer via a single DMA interface. Command lists in computer memory select micro-programmed sequences, stored in a fast-access Control Memory, which transfer data between CAMAC devices and lists in computer memory.
