They're real-time control systems, based around the 21MX processor
family (which succeeded the 2100 (ca. 1972) and 211[456] (ca. 1967))
and running one of several flavors of HP's RTE operating system.
I've never actually used them.

If you have HP Measurement/Computation catalogs from 1980 or 1981 or
so, you could look in there. Else pester me and I'll try to FAX a
few relevant pages to you.
