Averager

This document serves as the program library write-up for "Averager," a software tool designed for the analysis of slow neural potentials. Developed by Richard W. Reeder at the State University of New York (Stony Brook) in 1972, this program is intended for use on PDP-12A systems with a DIAL-MS monitor.

Key features and functionalities include:

• Multi-channel Processing: The program simultaneously averages five channels of data.
• Configurability: Users can define the number of sweeps (00-99), sampling time (001-999 msec per point), and the number of points (001-512).
• Data Selection: It allows for the averaging of specific, pre-selected trials, which can be defined via keyboard or paper tape inputs.
• Command Interface: The program is operated via one-letter commands for functions such as starting the averaging routine, inputting trial sequences, displaying channel data, and storing data to tape.
• Integration: The software is designed to save time in data analysis and can interface with the CATACAL program for further data manipulation on LINC tape.
