A software package for data acquisition and analysis: application to a ruby R-line spectroscopic system

Abstract

A spectroscopic system used for the calibration of pressure using the ruby R-line method has been designed and interfaced to a BBC model B microcomputer. The methodology of the real-time software design is detailed including flow diagrams for the three main programs employed in the system. The software includes both ambient and high-pressure data acquisition and analysis programs. Suggestions are made for the application of the software system to other experimental tasks and also to other compatible microcomputers.
