✦ Synopsis

A voltammetric instrument with two microcomputers is described. An INTEL SYS BO/lOA microcomputer, interfaced to the electrochemical cell, is provided with general machmecode routines m PROM for control and measurement A personal computer (Luxor/Scandia Metric ABC 80) is used for control of the microcomputer and for evaluation of results. A list of machmecode routine addresses with parameters comprises a program. The parameters are selected at the personal computer which also loads the program into the SYS 80/10A and initiates the experiment The use of two low-cost computers elimmates the need for a complex multi-task system or a remote host computer.
