A TRS-80-based system is described for controlling and recording events from operant chambers. The system features a TRS-80 microprocessor with 32 K RAM, a floppy disk drive, an LVB optical interface, a printer, and a user-oriented program (Operant Protocol System, OPS). The LVB interface system is capable of up to 128 independent input/output operations for each of up to 8 boxes. The system uses assembly language routines for real-time control and event recording of up to 8 boxes simultaneously. BASIC is used to obtain user input and deliver data output in an interactive fashion. Advantages include dependable hardware, extensively documented and tested software, relative inexpensiveness, and standard-deviation-based variable schedules.
本文描述了一种基于TRS - 80的系统，用于控制和记录来自操作箱的事件。该系统的特点是具有32K随机存取存储器的TRS - 80微处理器、一个软盘驱动器、一个LVB光学接口、一台打印机以及一个面向用户的程序（操作协议系统，OPS）。LVB接口系统能够对多达8个箱子中的每一个进行多达128次独立的输入/输出操作。该系统使用汇编语言程序进行实时控制，并同时记录多达8个箱子的事件。BASIC语言用于以交互方式获取用户输入并提供数据输出。其优点包括可靠的硬件、有大量文档记录和经过测试的软件、相对较低的成本以及基于标准差的可变时间表。
