BCS-8xx series installation manual
7
Once the techniques have been loaded and started from the PC, the experiments are entirely
under the control of the BCS-8xx’s on-board computer. The BCS-COM temporarily buffers
data and regularly transfers them to the PC, which is used for data storage, on-line visualiza-
tion, on-line and off-line data processing and display.
This architecture ensures the fewest possible experimental interruptions since a shutdown of
the monitoring PC does not affect the experiments in progress on the instrument.
