Digital Optical Recorders are suited for mass data logging and storage of text, pictures and other forms of non-moving images. Most of the recorders developed until now, have been designed for computer-room environments. However, a number of applications will require recorders to be used in non-benevolent environments. Hollandse Signaalapparaten B.V. (Signaal) has developed a robust industrial version of the Digital Optical Recorder and aims at the business of complete systems (including DOR as an archival medium) for storage and retrieval of data, images and documents in heavy duty and special professional applications. Because of the system approach, emphasis is put on the development of an intelligent controller for adaptation to a variety of host computers.
