INTEGRATED ACQUISITION, DISPLAY, AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM.

The design goal of the ND9900/Genie was to integrate a high-performance data acquisition and display subsystem with a state-of-the-art 32-bit microcomputer. This was achieved by integrating a MicroVAX II CPU board with acquisition and display controllers via the Q-bus. The result is a tightly coupled processing and analysis system for pulse-height analysis and other applications. The system architecture supports distributed processing, so that acquisition and display functions are semiautonomous, making the VAX concurrently available for applications programs.
