- Abstract
- The voluminous amount of data that can be collected by automatic data acquisition systems requires the use of a digital computer for the reduction of data. A general purpose computer program for the reduction of data collected by automatic data acquisition systems is presented. The program is written with the ability to accept data from a number of different data acquisition systems, with the ability to check the correctness of data included. Through the use of FORTRAN computer programming, the data can be converted to meaningful scientific and engineering units. The data can then be presented in tabular, printer plot or ink pen plot form.
