MKIV OPERATOR'S MANUAL 8
The Brewer Spectrophotometer is the core component of a complete Brewer System which is
comprised of the following:
Brewer Spectrophotometer
Solar Tracking System
IBM PC or compatible Computer operating Brewer Software
Printer
All of the above equipment is available from KIPP & ZONEN B.V.. The Brewer Spectrophotometer
is supplied with a complete set of programs which control all aspects of data collection and some
analysis. The Computer is programmed to interact with an operator to control the Brewer in either a
manual or fully-automated mode of operation.
In both the manual and semi-automated modes, the operator initiates a specific observation or
instrument test by typing a simple 'command' on the Computer keyboard. Raw data is automatically
recorded on the Computer data drive, and real-time Ozone, UV, SO
2
, and NO
2
results can be
printed.
In the fully-automated mode, a ‘Schedule’ in the Computer controls all operations. The Brewer is
automatically set to the proper observation configuration, then follows a user-defined observation
schedule.
Data is stored and analyzed in the same manner as in the manual or semi-automated mode.
The Brewer is designed to recover from a power failure, and will resume scheduled operation
subject to the computer system recovery, if the Brewer batch file has an automatic launch.
