110740 RSX-11M Datalogging System for Acurex Netpac Version: V3, May 1984 Submitted by: Walter E. Wahnsiedler, Aluminum Company of America, Alcoa Center, PA Operating System: RSX-11M V4.0 Source Language: FORTRAN 77 Memory Required: 55KB Hardware Required: Acurex Netpac remote digitizing system and two (or more) general RS232 ports are required. Keywords: Engineering Applications, MINC/RT-11 Software Abstract: This submission interfaces with the Acurex Netpac remote data collection system. It is an expansion of the "Minc-11 Data Acquisition Package for RSX-11", DECUS Program No. 11-590 and the principals of operation and commands supported are identical with DECUS No. 11-590. The only differences visible to the user involve additional data collection parameters which are necessary to utilize the capabilities of the Netpac. These are Engineering units, Module numbers, Temperature units and Reset rate (the rate at which recalibration and block temperature readings are performed). The Minimum change parameter has been expanded into an array, one entry for each channel, since the raw voltages observed on each channel are no longer available to the computer and the scaled values are possibly in different systems of units. Some of the code in this submission may be useful for users of the 11-590 program, since the programs have been generalized to handle an arbitrary number of channels. Notes: For persons not familiar with DECUS No. 11-590, check the catalog for a description of the package's capabilities. Restrictions: Multiple data collection tasks cannot share the same Netpac I/O port. Media (Service Charge Code): One RX01 Diskette (KA) Format: FILES-11, 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: FILES-11
