Abstract

This article describes a data collection system installed on the 400-kilowatt X-band transmitter of the Goldstone Solar System Radar. The data collection system is built around off-the-shelf IEEE 488 instrumentation, linked with fiber optics, controlled by an inexpensive computer, and uses software written in the Ada language. The speed and accuracy of the system is discussed, along with programming techniques used for both data collection and reduction.
