This program enables the computer to interact with the TOF-

converter and to generate spectrum displays on an oscilloscope.

The TOF Converter provides the computer with digital infor-

mation about the time a neutron takes to travel from the

scattering sample to a detector (up to 12 detectors can be

accommodated) and which detector was involved.

The TOF analyzer for which this program was written is in

use with a double chopper facility installed at the ISPRA-I

reactor. It consists of a PDP-8 on-line computer with 4K

memory, the automatic restart option, and a display unit;

a TOF Converter; and conventional counting electronics.
