Abstract

A commercial micro-densitometer is run by an IBM 1800 computer under time sharing. It is used for measuring the transmission of mass spectrometer plates and x-ray powder diffraction films. The x-ray data are processed on the 1800 computer in three steps: First a linear background approximation is performed by least-squares methods, then the data corrected for background are searched for peaks and the position of the peaks is determined. After an optional manual peak selection facilitated by CRT display of the data and results, d-spacings are calculated and printed out together with approximate intensities. The programs are also used for processing data obtained By automated x-ray diffractometers.
