✦ Synopsis
A microcomputer program and an analog to digital conversion card were developed for the analysis of fluorescence induction curves. The program and the analog to digital conversion card are compatible with all commercially available fluorometers. Most of the current analysis methods for fluorescence induction curves are implemented in the program, including analysis of OIDPSMT-kinetics, dissection of fluorescence quenching into two components, measurement of the slope of the fluorescence curve, complementary area analysis and analysis of energy 'spillover' from PS II to PS I. The program can also do basic statistical calculations from the measured parameters. The architecture of the program is open, allowing the user to add new methods to the main body of the program. Split time-scale is used in data capture and analysis. A new procedure facilitates accurate determination of F 0.
