Abstract[Summary] Following the previous work, counting-rate performance of camera-computer systems is investigated for two modes of data acquisition. The first is "LIST" mode in which image data and timing signal are sequentially stored onto magnetic disk or tape via buffer memory. The second is "HISTOGRAM" mode in which image data are stored into core memory as a digital image and then the image are transfered to magnetic disk or tape by the signal of frame timing. Firstly, the counting-rates stored in the buffer memory was measured as a function of display event-rates of scintillation camera for the two modes. For the both modes, stored counting-rates (M) are expressed by the following formula: M=N/(1-Nτ) where N is the display event-rates of the camera and τ is the resolving time including analog-to-digital conversion time and memory cycle time. The resolving time for each mode may be different, but it is about 10 μsec for the both mode in our computer system (TOSBAC 3400 model 31). Secondly, the data transfer speed from the buffer memory to external memory such as magnetic disk or tape was considered for the two modes. For the "LIST" mode, the maximum value of stored counting-rates from the camera is expressed in terms of size of buffer memory, access time and data transfer-rate of the external memory. For the "HISTOGRAM" mode, the minimum time of the frame is determined by size of buffer memory, access time and transfer rate of the external memory. In our system, maximum value of stored counting-rates is about 17,000 counts/sec. with the buffer size of 2,000 words, and minimum frame time is about 130 msec. with the buffer size of 1024 words. These values agree well with the calculated ones. From the present analysis, design of the camera-computer system becomes possible for the qauntitative dynamic imaging and future improvements are suggested.
