4.1.1 Operator Console and Connections
All  aspects  of  the  spectrometer  operation  are  controlled  from  the  operator  console.  The
design and implementation of experiments as well as the  analysis of data are  controlled  by
commands  entered  by  the  operator  at  the  console.  The  sub  components  of  the  operator
console are as follows:
Host computer: This is a Personal Computer. The host computer runs the TopSpin program
and handles all the data analysis and storage. All operations relevant to data acquisition are
controlled by a second computing system called the AQS housed within the console itself.
Ethernet  connection  from  host  computer  to  AQS:  This  is  used  to  transfer  data  and
instructions between the host computer and the AQS.
