Design of a computer-controlled electroanalytical system

A dedicated high-level computer language has been written for use with a computer-controlled electroanalytical system. The language can be compiled to produce executable machine code modules, and provides considerable flexibility in the design of experiments. The compiled modules can be linked to programs in other high-level languages, allowing very complex strategies to be implemented. The language is sufficiently general to allow extension to the control of other types of analytical instrumentation.
