ON-LINE COMPUTER ANALYSIS AND CONTROL OF EXPERIMENTS

An analysis procedure and data accumulation scheme is described which allows implementation of a fully interactive, computerized process control" for a general class of physical experiments in terms of derivable experimental results. The method is applicable whenever the derivable physical parameters can be expressed in terms of integrals over functions of the measured quantities and reciprocal relationships allow prediction of the measured values in terms of the derived quantities. The analysis may be most useful when the transformations are orthogonal. © 1969 The American Institute of Physics."
