Abstract :
A software package called Acquire is described which can control multichannel data acquisition equipment, collect and archive the data, analyze and present results in user-defined plot formats, and link together the individual tasks of a repetitive experiment to produce a fully automated turn-key solution. It is concluded that the modular structure of the described software can be customized quickly and easily. The customization is further simplified by incorporating many high-level functions like comprehensive plotting facilities, integrated data software package routines, etc. into this general-purpose software package. Examples of plot picture formats are presented
