Abstract

A scaling system is described whose automatic readout can record from an unlimited number of scalers or other digital equipment. The readout system normally controls a paper-type punch at 60 characters per second or a typewriter at 15 characters per second, but magnetic-tape output has also been used.

The scaler has a dead time per count of less than 100 nsec. Nixietube display is provided and a wide range of operating modes are possible. Planar silicon transistors and diodes are used exclusively in both the scaler and the read-out.
