A description is given of the computer‐controlled triple‐axis neutron spectrometer system installed at the PLUTO reactor at Harwell. Following the operation of the original system for several years a number of major improvements have been made which have resulted in a highly reliable system which provides the users with very powerful and extensive facilities. Following a general description of the modified spectrometer, details are given of the new computerized control system which utilizes a CAMAC modular interface and the functions of the various programs which are now available to the users are described.
