Abstract: The FOCLAB system, a dialect of FOCAL, provides complete

real-time experiment control and data acquisition capabilities in the

area of experimental psychology. The language provides digital and

analog input/output, graphics (including alphanumerics) on a refresh

CRT, and a powerful set of time measurement operations. With these

facilities FOCAL may be used in cognitive, operant, as well as psycho-

physiological research. FOCLAB will operate with either PDP-8 or

PDP-12 systems and can control most of the currently existing lab

interface options for these computers. The system will operate on 8K core

only machines, as well as under OS/8.
