Watts, J R

The Computerized Whole Body Counter System consists of computer equipment, a multiple channel analyzer (MCA), and programs that collect, record, store, and report data. System hardware consists of a Digital PDP11/23-Plus computer interfaced with a Canberra Series 90 MCA, 2 CRT terminals, 2 printers, and data storage devices. The system utilizes locally-written PDP-11 Fortran IV programs/subroutines, Canberra ETXX73 subroutines to interact with the MCA, and PDP-11 Fortran Library subroutines. The User Guide provides detailed instruction for operating the computer and executing the tasks. The Programmer Guide provides detail that a programmer may need to maintain the source code and to rebuild the tasks.
