Abstract
An interface is described to convert analogue data from the recorder or other output of a typical analytical spectrometer, or other instrument, to an amplified form suitable for feeding to the ADC of a microcomputer (BBC B+). The interface is simple and easy to construct, avoids complicated software, and can be used for a variety of applications. Excellent linearity was observed in transformed data and the interface is particularly suited to handling transient signals. Examples of its use in atomic absorption spectrometry, solution spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography are given.
