The ND66 box that you have is the front end of a pulse height analyzer
used with x-ray/gamma ray/neutron etc. detectors. These beasties grab
the pulses coming from the detectors, measure their amplitude, and
increment a histogram thereby generating an energy spectrum.
The box was often hooked to a PDP11 for additional data storage and
massaging. If I remember correctly, it will run 4 different acquisition
heads and talks DDCMP over the serial port.
