Abstract
This document contains a detailed description of an ASCII Character Buffer Interface designed to store and forward serial ASCII data received from an EIA RS-232C Interface. The particular application described herein concerns a Perkin-Elmer Model 5000 Atomic Absorption instrument transmitting ASCII data to the Data General EPA Laboratory Automation System. The interface is a part of a larger atomic absorption computer automation system which is currently in operation at the Environmental Protection Agency, Environmental Monitoring and Support Laboratory, Cincinnati. Software has been developed on the multi-user Basic language system for atomic absorption instrument applications. Applications include 'on line' data reduction, quality control, report generation and sample file control. The interface, however, may be used in any application involving the need to store and forward ASCII information.
