Abstract:

An effective data interface between a Victoreen PIP-400 pulse-height analyzer and a Hewlett-Packard 9810A calculator was designed, built, and tested. A calculator program was written which enabled a research group studying laser propagation in the marine boundary layer to conduct rapid, local processing of scintillation and extinction data.
