Synopsis

Explore how laboratory data is collected, processed, and visualized with a modular system. This book explains the software and workflows used to acquire data, generate graphics, and store results in a lab setting. It covers how graphics are produced and how data is organized for analysis and long-term archiving.

The material focuses on the data acquisition and display software, including modules that plot data and manage files. It describes formats for raw, compressed, and peak summary data, and shows how graphics frames are produced with Easygraphing tools from Tektronix. You’ll see how data from PCM and Calorimetric projects are named, stored, and later retrieved for reporting or review.

• How graphics modules PCMPEAK and PCMPEAKA generate single- and multi-cycle channel plots.


• How data files are named (PCMRAW, CALRAW, PCMRAW.XXX, CALRAW.XXX) and how peak summary data is stored (PCMPEAK.DTA).


• How compressed data files reduce record size and support multiple channels per scan.


• How archival storage works with OSCOPY/32 for backup to tape or disk.

Ideal for readers working with legacy data acquisition systems and lab software, seeking a practical view of data handling and visualization workflows.
