Characterization of coal-derived liquids and other fossil fuel related materials employing mass spectrometry. Quarterly report, September 29, 1977--December 29, 1977
The Data General RJE80 software has been implemented and communications were established between the Nova 3/12 minicomputer in the mass spectrometer laboratory and the IBM 370/158 computer in the campus Computer Center. To date, the communications line has been used to significantly expedite the Z-series analysis of high-resolution mass spectral data recovered from photographic plates. A program has also been written which extracts high-resolution mass spectral data, acquired directly from the mass spectrometer by the DS-50S data system, from disc in the Nova 3/12 and prepares it for remote job entry to the IBM 370/158 for Z-series analysis. This program also significantly facilitates data analysis by eliminating tedious key-punch work. Performance of the CEC 21-110B mass spectrometer and the DS-50S data system combination has been optimized for quantitative analysis. Design of the interface between the Nova 3/12 and the comparator/microdensitometer is progressing. Detailed investigation identified electrical problems preventing the attainment of optimum performance of the mass spectrometer/data system combination. The Department of Chemistry provided funds to eliminate these problems and corrective action is nearly complete.
