Conclusion
The adaptation of the potentiometric analyzer to the ZX Spectrum has significantly improved its versatility for titration tasks.
Supporting Evidence
- The ZX Spectrum allows for faster processing and higher resolution graph plotting.
- Data can now be saved independently of the main program in a much shorter time.
- The titration program displays real-time progress on-screen.
Takeaway
The researchers made a computer better at measuring things by using a new model, which helps it work faster and show results more clearly.
Methodology
The study involved modifying the interface circuitry of a potentiometric analyzer to work with the ZX Spectrum microcomputer.
