BASIC Program for Handling Strontium Mass Spectrometric Data

摘要

A commentary is given for a BASIC program, which operates the HAL microprocessor system on the MM30B solid source mass spectrometer used for rubidium strontium dating. Specifically, the program controls the acquisition of rubidium and strontium isotopic data and performs calculations for determination of the exp 86 Sr/ exp 87 Sr ratio in geological materials. Some basic technical data and operating parameters for the mass spectrometer and annotated program listing are given. (Atomindex citation 14:788833)
