CAMAC (Computer Automated Measurement and Control) Based Data Acquisition System for the Undergraduate Nuclear Physics Laboratory

物理系将改进本科核物理课程，让学生亲身体验最新的实时数据采集、监测和控制技术，这些技术不仅用于核物理领域，还用于化学工业和医学领域。购买CAMAC系统将是实现这一目标的第一步。该系统包括一个CAMAC板条箱，一个板条箱控制器，三个CAMAC模块（模拟到数字转换器）和一个IBM PC/AT兼容的PC机与相关的数据采集软件。CAMAC系统将应用于高等本科物理实验室，用于核物理实验数据的采集、监测和控制。由于该系统已被广泛应用于工业、研究和医疗应用，该设备将更好地为本科物理专业的学生准备研究生院和工业。

The Physics Department will improve the undergraduate nuclear physics curriculum by giving students hands-on experience in the latest state- of-the-art technology in real-time data acquisition, monitoring and control that is used not only in the area of nuclear physics, but also in the chemical industry and in the medical field. The purchase of a CAMAC system will be the first step toward this goal. This system includes a CAMAC crate, a crate controller, three CAMAC modules (analog to digital converters) and an IBM PC/AT compatible PC with associated software for data acquisition. The CAMAC system will be used in the advanced undergraduate physics laboratory to acquire, monitor and control data in nuclear physics experiments. Since this system has found widespread use in industrial, research and medical applications, this equipment will better prepare undergraduate physics students for graduate school and industry.
