Abstract This paper describes features for programming CAMAC easily and efficiently in the programming language PL-11. PL-11 is an intermediate-level, machine-oriented programming language for the PDP-11 computer. It was designed and implemented as the programming tool for the on-line minicomputers used in data acquisition at the CERN OMEGA project. Because all the experiment electronics are connected to the computer via CAMAC, facilities have been incorporated into PL-11 that enable the physicists to program both CAMAC and the PDP-11 in a single language. This paper, which is a condensation of an earlier paper, discussed just the features of the language that are related to CAMAC.
