MADCAP IV, A Multiplexed ADC and Analog Plotting
8-237

Gerald W. Dulaney, Digital Equipment Corporation,
Maynard, Massachusetts

MADCAP IV allows the LAB-8 user more complete exploita-
tion of his hardware environment by supplying a program ma-
trix into which he can readily insert assembly language
routines to perform a specific data acquisition and/or analysis
task. Floating point arithmetic, scope display, analog plot-
ting, and both analog and digital data input can be performed
by the Basic Package. Additional routines are supplied to
perform interactive data treatment (including simulation
spectrum stripping, smoothing, integration, etal), slow scan
signal averaging, acquisition from a photoelectric curve
follower, and to perform mass spectral ionization efficiency
measurements.

The program can be adapted by the interested user to work
with a different hardware configuration.
