Abstract

The rational approach to laboratory automation in a changing research environment involves a network of computers. This permits program preparation and data manipulation/storage/plotting/printing to take place on the CPU most appropriate to the task. It also allows the application programs to run on satellite processors with minimum configuration and maximum data throughput capabilities. The hardware implementation is described, as well as a brief introduction to the software facilities available under RT-11/REMOTE and FORTH, the two language systems used at Virginia Polytechnic Institute to implement the net.
