I’m looking for information on MINC-11 systems, particularly documentation on the CSR bit functions for the MNCKW and MNCAD modules. Recently, Fred Jan Kraan added a great deal of information to his excellent web site on MINC-11 including the 8 MINC user manuals which to date did not exist on the internet.
http://electrickery.xs4all.nl/comp/minc/doc/ Thanks Fred Jan Kraan and Kees Stravers! One thing I am looking for now is a DECUS package 110590 A description of it is below taken from a page that Tim Shoppa put on bitsavers. I have found some mostly RT-11 DEUS packages and of course all of the RSX-11M & M+ semi-annual SIG Tapes are available, but I can’t find quite a number of these DECUS packages that never made it to a SIG tape. Does any one have this? Thanks! Mark Matlock 110590 MINC-11 Data Acquisition Package for RSX-11M Version: July 1983 Submitted by: Walter E. Wahnsiedler, Aluminum Company of America, Alcoa Center, PA Operating System: MINC, RSX-11M V4.0 Source Language: FORTRAN-77 Memory Required: 54KB Hardware Required: In submitted form, MINC analog-digital modules (MNCAD MNCAM). Can be readily modified to other A-D's. Keywords: Conversions - Analog/Digital, Graphics, MINC/RSX-11 Software Abstract: This package consists of three FORTRAN programs and related files which implement a flexible data acquisition algorithm for RSX-11M based systems. The analog-to-digital converter handling is set up to use MINC-series modules (MNCAD, MNCAM), but the code dealing with actual analog-to-digital conversion is collected in one subroutine to make modifications to other hardware easy. During the data acquisition process, the user is provided with a live terminal keyboard which can be used to modify any of the following data collection parameters. Accessible parameters are the disk storage file name, assigned A-D channel numbers, preamplifier settings (MNCAG), collection rate, total time to collect, scale factors, and storage suppression threshold. The user can also start and stop data collection sequences from his terminal and force the collection of one or more individual data points at any time. While data is being collected, the user may also "disconnect" his terminal from the data collection process, allowing it to be used for other purposes. Data may be written out numerically on the user's terminal as it is taken, or returned via system messages to a customized program for graphic display. An example of such a customized graphic program is included for VT105 and VT125 terminals. Up to three user terminals may be simultaneously "connected" to the data acquisition process, and each may display the data numerically, graphically, or both, and each may be used to modify the data collection process in any way. A "profile" of default parameters is kept for each user, to alleviate the necessity of entering repetitive information each time the programs are run.
