PAINT EVALUATION PROGRAM MANUAL

THIS MANUAL IS THE FORMAL DOCUMENTATION FOR A SYSTEM OF COMPUTER-AUTOMATED TECHNICAL INFORMATION (EXPERIMENTAL DATA) PROCESSING IN THE PAINT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT LABORATORY. THE SYSTEM ENCOMPASSES THE CREATION OF A DATA BASE TO CHARACTERIZE RAW MATERIALS, LIQUID PAINTS, AND APPLIED PAINT FILMS, AND TO RECORD THE TESTING OF PAINT FILMS IN THE LABORATORY AND IN THE FIELD. THESE DATA, ALL MACHINE- READABLE, ARE ACCESSED THROUGH A SERIES OF COMPUTER PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO SORT, SELECT, ANALYZE, FORMAT, AND REPORT DESIRED INFORMATION WITH ROUTINE ERROR-FREE PRECISION. ALL COMPUTER OPERATIONS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED IN A BATCH-PROCESS MODE ON A BURROUGHS B5500 COMPUTER, BUT PROGRAM PLANNING WAS CONDUCTED WITH FULL COGNIZANCE OF AND PROVISION FOR SUBSEQUENT ADAPTATION OF THE SYSTEM TO INTERACTIVE CRT (SCOPE) TERMINALS. /FHWA/
