Even greater efficiencies can be achieved when the entire process of data collection is delegated to the staff of the beamhne and the automated facilities they operate. This latter approach is used exclusively at SGX-CAT. All decisions on data collection protocols are made by the local staff aided by facility software systems. Such reliance on professional experts for data collection was anticipated nearly a decade ago (Sweet, 1998). 

Establish data collection protocols that systematically monitor community health indicators (e.g., aberrations in utilization trends or syndromic surveillance).

The data collection protocol employed to pick out the absorptions of interest is generally a difference data manipulation, which varies according to the type of spectrometer employed. The early in situ infrared studies were carried out using dispersive infrared spectrometers with their attendant low power sources and noisy detectors. The simplest approach to the sensitivity problem is exemplified by the first in situ infrared paper by Mark and Pons [39], which reported a study of the reduction of 8-quinolinol solution by electrolysis at —1.8V until sufficient...

The rapid data collection times of modern FTIR spectrometers allow irreversible reactions to be followed with time resolutions down to ca. 10 ms using the simple data collection protocols depicted in Figs. 11(a) and (b) in the... 

The section presented henceforth introdnces the reader to the fundamentals associated with any of the data collection protocols described earlier. This starts with an overview of the various referencing procedures that should be applied along with the issues noted when dealing with insulators. This is covered in Section 5.3.1 along with the commonly applied methodologies. As isobaric interferences and methodologies for dealing with them can also affect mass calibration, these are also covered...
