A general monitor and control interface to the VAX UNIBUS by way of the DR11-C I/O port
S. S. Brokl · The Telecommunications and Data Acquisition Report · 1985
The High Speed Data Acquisition System for the Goldstone Solar System Radar requires a number of interfaces for monitor and control functions for the special purpose data acquisition hardware. One common interface design is used. A large number of external control and monitor registers may be addressed and observed with this interface design, by using only three address locations on the UNIBUS and a standard DEC supplied input/output port. A broadcast control and status register is introduced which addresses any number of different units and registers.
