  • Abstract
    A programmable, automatic system was developed to analyze multiple samples by either neutron activation analysis or nondispersive X-ray analysis. The system incorporates a Nuclear Data Series 2200 multichannel analyzer and a NOVA 800 minicomputer. An analyzer-computer interface, a sample changer, and computer software were designed and developed. The completed system was tested to illustrate its usefulness.
