Abstract

A simple CAMAC test system based upon the use of the S-100 (Hobbyist) bus has been implemented at SLAC. The IMSAI 8080 computer is used, containing 16K bytes of RAM and 1K bytes of EPROM. All programming and operator interaction takes place via a thermal printer-keyboard, and all test programs are written in IMSAI BASIC. The system has been used to test components, CAMAC modules, and complex CAMAC systems.
