Abstract
A real-time data acquisition system for microprobe analysis has been d eveloped at the Free University of Amsterdam. The system is composed o f two parts: a front-end real-time and a back-end monitoring system. T he front-end consists of a VMEbus based system which reads out a CAMAC crate. The back-end is implemented on a Sun work station running the UNIX operating system. This separation allows the integration of a min imal, and consequently very fast, real-time executive within the sophi sticated possibilities of advanced UNIX work stations.
