This paper describes the incorporation of a SMAC (Technicon) analyzer into data-processing techniques that have been developed on existing computer hardware during several years. The SMAC system is interfaced directly to a small computer, and suitable peripherals produce a manageable form of result tabulation for subsequent reporting, as well as provide quality-control information to the SMAC operators in real time. The design is such as to facilitate the performance analysis of the SMAC system during its initiation period and during normal service operation.
