Instrumentation and software of a computer-controlled system for analytical chemistry is described, which will: (a) automatically carry out any one of a large number of tests, (b) utilize the results of that test in conjunction with data derived from other sources as a basis to proceed to select and perform another analysis, and (c) continue in this mode by a branching sequence until the analytical potential of the specimen is exhausted. The system is programmable with user control languages that require no programming experience. The external equipment controlled by the computer in a time-sharing mode includes a sampler, a digital pipet, a digital valve, a ratemeter, and a dual-beam spectrophotometer with a programmable wavelength drive.
