Abstract
A new schedule programming language is presented, including its implementation on a PDP-11 running under RSX-11M. This language combines modern syntax concepts of PASCAL with the state notation of SKED. The present implementation includes event-driven activation for fast response time and shared code for minimal storage requirements, allowing the simultaneous control of many experiments.
