Abstract
In an automatic flux mapping system utilizing a microprocessor for control and data information processing, signals from the in-core detectors providing the flux mapping operation are converted to a frequency link and are made available to the microprocessor via a programmable timer thus minimizing the participation of the microprocessor so that the microprocessor can be made more available to satisfy other tasks.
