The electronic block, which includes block of the analysis and registration and control system engines, and block of the source-receiver of acoustic oscillations are universal for any installations of this type. As the source-receiver of acoustic oscillations the ultrasonic flow detector is usually use. It s, as a rule, the serial devices for example y/f2-12. The electronic block contains the microprocessor device or PC, device of the power supply and management of engines... 

Another example of deahng with molecular structure input/output can be found in the early 1980s in Boehiinger Ingelheim. Their CBF (Chemical and Biology Facts) system [44] contained a special microprocessormolecular structures. Moreover, their IBM-type printer chain unit had been equipped with special chemical characters and it was able to print chemical formulas. 

Each transputer is a microprocessor with its own memory banks and its own built-in operating mode similar to a conventional microprocessor, but a transputer has additional input and output channels enabling it to communicate with other transputers. For example, in one simple mode, five transputers could be coupled so that four of them were carrying out operations at the same time (in parallel) but controlled by the fifth. 

Example 4. A particular microprocessor (MPU) is assigned for a fuel-injection system. The failure rate must be estimated, and 100 MPUs are tested. The test is terrninated when the fifth failure occurs. Failed items are not replaced. This type of testing, where n is the number placed on test and ris the number of failures specified, is termed a Type II censored life test. 

The use of "fixed" automation, automation designed to perform a specific task, is already widespread ia the analytical laboratory as exemplified by autosamplers and microprocessors for sample processiag and instmment control (see also Automated instrumentation) (1). The laboratory robot origiaated ia devices coastmcted to perform specific and generally repetitive mechanical tasks ia the laboratory. Examples of automatioa employing robotics iaclude automatic titrators, sample preparatioa devices, and autoanalyzers. These devices have a place within the quality control (qv) laboratory, because they can be optimized for a specific repetitive task. AppHcation of fixed automation within the analytical research function, however, is limited. These devices can only perform the specific tasks for which they were designed (2). 

There has been a tremendous change in the last two decades as computers have taken over the tedious calculations involved in color measurement. Indeed, microprocessors either are built into or are connected to all modem instmments, so that the operator may merely need to specify, for example, x,j, Y or T, i , b or T, (A, b, either for the 2° or the 10° observer, and for a specific standard illiiminant, to obtain the desired color coordinates or color differences, all of which can be stored for later reference or computation. The use of high intensity filtered Xenon flash lamps and array detectors combined with computers has resulted in almost instantaneous measurement in many instances. 

Unlike broadband data, narrowband data provide the ability to directly monitor, trend, and alarm specific machine-train components automatically by the use of a microprocessor for a window of frequencies unique to specific machine components. For example, a narrowband window can be established to directly monitor the energy of a gear set that consists of the primary gear mesh frequency and corresponding side bands. 

Most microprocessor-based systems permit a maximum of 256 APSs per database. This limit could be restrictive if the analyst wishes to establish a unique APS for each machine-train. To avoid this problem, APSs should be established for classes of machine-trains. For example, a group of bridle gearboxes that are identical in both design and application should share the same APS. 

Variable-speed machinery Variable-speed machine-train narrowband windows should be converted to their relationship to the running speed (lx). For example, if the frequency of the ball-pass inner-race rolling-element bearing is calculated to be 5.9 times the primary shaft running speed, then the narrowband window should be set as 5.3x to 6.2x. This allows the microprocessor to track the actual bearing rotational frequency regardless of the variation in running speed. 

Accuracy of data The microprocessor should be capable of automatically acquiring accurate, repeatable data from equipment included in the program. The elimination of user input on filter settings, bandwidths and other measurement parameters would greatly improve the accuracy of acquired data. The specific requirements that determine data accuracy will vary depending on the type of data. For example, a vibration instrument should be able to average... 

The microprocessor is programmed to recognize length and width, but the question of the correct diameter of irregular particles has remained controversial. For example, Martin s diameter is defined as the shortest line which divides the area of the image in half. A depiction of this is shown as follows ... 

The character and the degree of automation in chemical control may have been covered in the above treatment of semi-automatic or completely automatic, and of discontinuous or continuous analysis, but something more should be said about the means by which automation proper has been performed in recent times. Whereas in the past automated analysis involved the use of merely, mechanical robots, to-day s automation is preferably based on computerization in a way which can best be explained with a few specific examples. Adjustment knobs have been increasingly replaced with push-buttons that activate an enclosed fully dedicated microcomputer or microprocessor in line with the measuring instrument the term microcomputer is applicable if, apart from the microprocessor as the central processing unit (CPU), it contains additional, albeit limited, memory (e.g., 4K), control logics and input and output lines, by means of which it can act as satellite of a larger computer system (e.g., in laboratory computerization) if not enclosed, the microcomputer is called on-line. 

The considerable importance of computerization in electroanalysis has been well illustrated by the many examples in the earlier part of this chapter microprocessors in laboratory instruments and on line computers for automation have become common features. However, a few additional remarks on electroanalysis and its future computerization may still be useful. 

Most instrumental parameters can now be set and monitored continuously under the control of a microprocessor and employing a limited amount of memory. This facilitates the running of repetitive analyses with improved precision (although not necessarily with improved accuracy) and unattended operation which releases the analyst for other duties. An example of the degree of control available in a modern instrument is shown in Figure 13.5. 

The following examples are intended to illustrate some of the current capabilities of instruments under microprocessor control or interfaced to a dedicated microcomputer. These capabilities are becoming more sophisti-...
