An application language for the control and analysis of isolated cardiac muscle experiments is described. It is defined using an extensible language, STOIC (derived from FORTH), which consists of a set of basic operations called words. The basic words are readily combined to form higher level words which perform more complex operations. A suitable set of higher level words forms an application language. The resulting language (1) takes full advantage of system hardware capabilities, (2) is easily used by those with little programming experience, and (3) provides flexibility in a research environment where experimental protocols frequently change. |
