Extract

The optical astronomy group at the University of Tasmania is engaged in a search for optical pulsations from pulsars.

It was considered that the PDP-8/F mini-computer, purchased with A.R.G.C. funds to control the 40 inch telescope and on-line experiments, would be extremely useful for this purpose, until completion of the 40 inch telescope. Interfacing the computer to the output of the Cassegrain photo-electric photometer required work at both the hardware and software level.
