1. SKED

   Designed by Arthur Snapper at Western University of Michigan in the early 1970's, SKED is a state notation, quasi-parallel programming language for the real-time control of experimental apparatus.  Originally exchanged between cooperating laboratories on paper tape (and later on DEC Tape), through the SKED Users Group (SKUG).SKED was a standard method for the control of experimental apparatus in Operant Conditioning laboratories from the early-1970's through the early 90's.  It was implemented on Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-8 and PDP-11 (released by State Systems, Inc.) and adapted for Intel 80286 PCs by Med Associates, Inc. as a Pascal precompiler.The language consists of numbered States Sets (designated "S.S.n,") which contain numbered states ("Sn"), where n is a numeric identifier.States define entry conditions and transition rules for changing to other States within the State Set.  State Sets can be synchronized by sending global "Z pulse" messages to all State Sets.The langage includes syntax for reading/writing the binary state of control lines to the apparatus, assigning numeric array variables ("counters") and performing simple branch conditionals.Sample PDP-8 SKED Listing: //////////////////////////////////////// / / / FIXED RATIO 60 / / TIME-SHARE SUPER SKED / / / //////////////////////////////////////// /FR60S.SK FIXED RATIO 60 EXAMPLE /**SKED PROGRAM TO COLLECT EVERY IRT /AND APPEND IT TO A CODE NUMBER /2=LIGHT ABOVE LEVER 3=FEEDER 4=STEPPER 5=REPORT 6=MOTOR 1=RESET /Z1=COUNT OF REINFORCEMENTS /Z2=CUMULATIVE RECORDER /CODE: 0=IRT / 1=REINFORCED IRT / 7=END OF SESSION / 2=RESPONSES DURING REINFORCEMENT / 3=END OF REINFORCEMENT CYCLE S.S.1,/RATIO S1, R12:ON2,4,5,6,1;OPEN;IF B=0[SET B=60];SET B(1)=B--->S2 /DEFAULT RATIO SIZE=60 S2, B(1) R1:RECORD 1;SET B(1)=B;ON3;OFF2,5,6;Z2;Z1--->S3 /FEED ON,LIGHT & MOTOR /OFF,REPORT,CODE=1 R1:OFF4;Z2;;RECORD0--->SX /STEP RECORDER,INC COUNTER & CODE=0 S3, R1:RECORD 2;--->SX /NO CUM RECORD,INC COUNTER & CODE=2 4":OFF3;ON6,2;RECORD 3;--->S2 /OFF FEED,ON LIGHT & MOTOR /INC COUNTER & CODE=3 S.S.2,/CUMULATIVE RECORDERS S1, Z2--->S2 S2, .02":ON4,5--->S1 /STEP AND/OR REPORT S.S.3,/END OF SESSION S1, R12--->S2 S2, 60'+100Z1+R13:RECORD 7--->S3 /CODE=7 /END SESSION FROM KEYBOARD S3, .01":CLOSE--->STOP /HIT LAST DUMP 'TILL WE HAVE TIME $  //////////////////////////////////////// / / / VARIABLE INTERVAL / /****FOR SUPER SKED*** / / / //////////////////////////////////////// /VI WITH CODED IRTS AND DUMPS /VINTER.SK /CONTAINS LIST FOR ONE AND TWO MINUTE VI-SELECT WITH "/" /TIMES MAY BE SELECTED RANDOMLY OR SEQUENTIALY -- USE "/" / TO COMMENT OUT RAND OR LIST FUNCTION IN S1 & S2 OF S.S.1 CTRS=1 /3 = FEEDER /2 = LIGHT /1 = RESET /4 = STEPPER /5 = REPORT /6 = MOTOR /CODE :0=IRT / 1=REINFORCED IRT / 7=END OF SESSION / 2=RESPONSES DURING REINFORCEMENT / 3=END OF REINFORCEMENT CYCLE / 4=END OF INTERVAL / /VARIABLES: A=LIST OF INTERVALS / B=POINTER TO NEXT ELEMENT--B MAY BE SET BEFORE SESSION STARTS / Z=CURRENT INTERVAL / /TWO MINUTE VI /LIST A=6",12.32",18.98",26.04",33.54",41.54",50.11",59.34",69.34",80.25", /92.25",105.59",120.59",137.73",157.73",181.70",211.73",251.73",311.73",431.73" / /ONE MINUTE VI LIST A=15",40",80",3",110",50",118",20",105",115",5",100",30",10",60",90",70",17" / / S.S.1,/ IRT CODING S1, / R12:LIST Z=A(B);ON2,1,4,5,6;OPEN-->S2 R12:RAND Z=A;ON1,2,4,5,6;OPEN---->S2 /RANDOM FROM LIST A S2, / Z T:LIST Z=A(B);RECORD 4--->S3 Z T:RAND Z=A;RECORD 4--->S3 /RAND WITHOUT...
