On-Line Data-Acquisition Systems in Nuclear Physics, 1969
d. Controlling the recording of digital data on magnetic tape, paper
tape, or other storage medium.
e. Controlling an incremental plotter.
f. Controlling the output of large quantities of data via a line printer.
g. Transmission of quantities of data between two computers or between a computer and a pulse-height analyzer or other device having a magnetic core memory.

Several operations of intermediate complexity we will label Class 2.
_Class 2 operations_:
a. Processing of data already accumulated and stored either in memory or on tape or other medium (off-line processing). This data reduction is often more complicated and lengthy than the preliminary on-line processing referred to in (Class 1b).
b. Calculation of information required by the experimenter during the experiment, for example, kinematics tables and particle energies corresponding to field strengths in analyzer magnets.
