The Combustion Diagnostics Laboratory Data Acquisition and Control System.

Abstract

A versatile laboratory data acquistion and control computer that was designed and built for automation of a laser spectroscopy combustion diagnostics laboratory is described. The general purpose interface hardware and software is discussed in detail, along with general architectural philosophy and programming methodology. The architecture provided maximum adaptability to a wide range of experimental situations, while retaining user friendliness. The special software interfaces developed for this system allowed the use of high level languages for most tasks.
