We have been developing SQUID systems for various applications, with special emphasis on systems for biomagnetic applications. In 1987, Koyanagi and Kado fabricated and integrated a SQUID system made entirely of thin-film integrated SQUID. Research and development activities on multichannel SQUID system integration has been undertaken by various groups. The Superconducting Sensor Laboratory (SSL) project was one of the most significant of these activities. Such activities in North America and Europe have mostly been pursued by commercial groups, who have been fabricating commercial systems for end users. However, large-scale system distribution to end users is still impractical because of high costs and the lack of user-friendliness. As former members of the SSL project, some of us at the Kanazawa Institute of Technology began the development of SQUID systems aimed at overcoming previous problems such as high cost and the low level of user-friendliness. In this paper, we describe our concept of system integration and the level of the system's sophistication. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
