Abstract

A low cost graphic and data collection facility consisting of a storage tube display, plotter, digital multimeter, floppy disc, calculator and BCD instrumentation interface has been built into a single, mobile unit. Laboratory data may be collected automatically by recording the output of the low speed digital multimeter or medium speed BCD DMA interface in calculator memory and then buffering the data to either floppy disc or tape cassette. The data can be summarized and displayed immediately on the CRT or plotter by the calculator using programs available on a floppy disc resident library. Alternatively, the data can be routed to one of two timesharing computer systems at speeds up to 9600 baud where 2-D and 3-D software packages and large application libraries can be used to construct more sophisticated displays for presentation interactively on the CRT. Various applications appropriate to a university environment are discussed. A similar facility at the Sacramento offices of the Army Corps of Engineers used for flood information reporting is also described.

一种移动远程数据采集和图形显示站

一个低成本的图形和数据收集设施，由存储管显示器、绘图仪、数字万用表、软盘、计算器和BCD仪表接口组成，已建成一个单一的移动装置。通过将低速数字万用表或中速BCD DMA接口的输出记录在计算器存储器中，然后将数据缓冲到软盘或磁带，可以自动收集实验室数据。数据可以通过计算机利用软盘驻留库上的程序进行汇总并立即显示在CRT或绘图仪上。或者，数据可以以高达9600波特的速度路由到两个时间共享计算机系统中的一个，其中二维和三维软件包和大型应用程序库可以用来构建更复杂的显示器，以便在CRT上进行交互显示。讨论了适合大学环境的各种应用。还描述了陆军工程兵团萨克拉门托办事处用于洪水信息报告的类似设施。
