About This Item
IEEE 960/1177-1989 defines requirements for a speed data acquisition and control system, together with IEEE FASTBUS standard routines, in a nuclear engineering context. This technical document helps formalize how measurement, control, and data-handling functions are organized so that related equipment and software can work together more consistently. As IEEE 960/1177-1989 is now superseded, it is still useful for reviewing legacy system design, interoperability, and compliance expectations in older FASTBUS-based environments.
What is IEEE 960/1177-1989?
IEEE 960/1177-1989 is a standards document focused on the interface between speed data acquisition, control functions, and IEEE FASTBUS routines. Its purpose is to define a common technical basis for implementing and using these functions in systems where timing, data transfer, and control behavior must be predictable. In practice, the standard supports more structured design and testing of equipment and software associated with nuclear engineering instrumentation and related control environments.
Where is IEEE 960/1177-1989 used?
This standard is mainly relevant in nuclear engineering installations that rely on data acquisition and control systems, especially where FASTBUS-based hardware and routines are part of the workflow. It may be used with instrumentation setups, test benches, experimental control systems, and legacy measurement platforms that handle fast data capture or coordinated control tasks. IEEE 960/1177-1989 is particularly useful when maintaining older systems that still depend on defined routine behavior and consistent system interaction.
Why is IEEE 960/1177-1989 important?
IEEE 960/1177-1989 matters because it helps reduce ambiguity in how acquisition and control software should behave in technical environments where reliability is important. Clear standardization can support consistent implementation, easier testing, and better control over system integration. For organizations working with older nuclear engineering equipment, the standard can also aid maintenance, documentation review, and procurement decisions by providing a recognized reference for legacy FASTBUS-related functions. As a superseded standard, it remains valuable for compatibility checks and historical design control.
