An Inexpensive Intelligent Interface for Coupling a PRA Fluorescence Lifetime Instrument to a Microvax II.

Abstract

An inexpensive interface which can perform serial and parallel I/O operations necessary for instrument control and data transfer operations using time-correlated single photon counting instrumentation is described. Development of a compatible stepper motor system for controlling peripherals is also provided. This interface was implemented using an inexpensive Z80A based microcomputer.
