AB - Abstract In quantitative gas and liquid chromatography, it has been well established that results of much higher precision and accuracy can be produced economically with computer- based data reduction systems. Minicomputers have provided total automation capabilities since the late sixties, but due to their high costs, minicomputer-based systems are economical to large laboratories with a number of chromatographs. Advances in microelectronics circuitry have led to the revolution in data systems described by Gill. A number of practical, low-cost computing integrators have provided computer-level performance at a cost affordable by thousands of laboratories with few chromatographs. These computing integrators use sophisticated digital methods of data acquisition, integration, baseline correction and post- run calculations. Their basic architecture, however, limits their expansion capability and the availability of computer peripherals. Recent developments in microelectronics design, however, have resulted in low-cost computing integrators with a new level of performance above that of large data systems. This paper will present the block diagram of a multichannel, hierarchical computing integrator using a new systems architecture. The benefits of this new design are provided by improved performance in the following areas: multiple channel operation; sophisticated and flexible data reduction capabilities; ease of operation; and extended calculation and report formatting of analyses of multiple chromatographs.
