A photometric system capable of simultaneous dual channel operation has been developed for use in NZ. The photometer head unit, developed and constructed by the University of Texas at Austin, permits simultaneous observation of two stars using suitable optics and mechanically coupled photomultiplier systems. The instrumentation and control system is centred around a DEC micro/PDP-11 computer and incorporates general purpose hardware and software developed specifically for the system.
