Application of data-processing techniques to amino-acid analysis

Abstract

The paper describes a data-processing system that uses a combination of electronic hardware and specific software to analyse the data from two twin-column AutoAnalyzer amino-acid analysers working in parallel. The system incorporates readily available electronic components and the data is punched on to paper tape. A Remote Batch Terminal is used to transmit and receive the data from a computer bureau. The software is designed to produce a full report from the available analytical data.
