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.
