Structure of automated data processing system for a group of mass spectrometers

The authors describe architectures for data acquisition and processing systems designed for the automation of mass spectrometer arrays for spectroscopic composition studies of the transuranium elements, fission products, spent fuels, and other isotope-containing material. The system contains network facilities for multiple-user computers. Its implementation at the V.I. Lenin Scientific-Research Institute for Atomic Reactors as well as its applications for other nuclear research fields are described.
