AUTOMATED HIGH-SPEED PHOTOMETER

An advanced photometry system was built to test beam-type incandescent filament lamps and was designed to meet present and foreseeable testing standards of the U. S. Department of Transportation. The system normally operates in a conversational mode with the human operator commanding a minicomputer, but it can operate in an unattended mode with commands entered via paper tape. The authors discuss the development, principles and criteria for this automated photometry system.
