Use of an on-line digital computer for enhancement and integration of nuclear resonance spectra

The paper describes the design and practical considerations involved in coupling a small digital computer to work on-line with a chemical research n.m.r. spectrometer. The various requirements of spectrometer, computer, interfacing and programming are dealt with both in general terms and in relation to the specific system employed in the present project. The effectiveness of the practical system is assessed, and some typical results are included.
