title: Design and characterization of an intensified diode array data-acquisition system for spectrometric measurements.
abstract: A computer-based data-acquisition system for an intensified diode array (IDA) detector is described. A unique combination of hardware and software provides many data-acquisition and calculation options useful for multiple-wavelength spectrometric measurements. The data-acquisition system is used to evaluate critically many characteristics of the IDA detector, including the dependence of the light and dark signals and noise on experimental variables, and the linearity, memory effects and resolution.
