Abstract
Abstract The on-line computing system for the spectrograph - MARS - is described, together with the method of analysis of the data from the flash-tube trays. It is demonstrated that by considering both the flash-tube internal diameters and the separation between the flash-tubes to be 10% greater than their actual measured values, the rate of observance of events, firstly, incorporating a tube which discharged although the ionizing particle did not traverse the tube and secondly, incorporating a tube which did not discharge despite being traversed by an ionizing particle, can be satisfactorily explained. For the oversize tubes and gaps the m.d.m. of MARS is 5850 GeV/ c and the events each require on average 40 s of computer time for analysis.
