Abstract
Three types of microcomputer applications have been implemented for superconducting magnet experiments: (1) a dedicated programmable waveform generator, (2) a dedicated remote data acquisition terminal, and (3) a stand-alone data processing unit for experiments. We report here our experiences with these implementations and the rationale behind the choice of hardware/software in each type of application. In particular, details are given on implementing an Intel SBC 80/10 microcomputer system as a remote data acquisition terminal of a PDP-10 and as an on-line signal conditioning device.
