We present a triple correlator for point processes in which a long batch of pulses is first recorded by direct memory access (DMA) and subsequently analyzed by a microcomputer. Provision is also made for the retrieval of the second‐order correlation function. Applications to the statistical analysis of level crossings by random noise are briefly outlined.
