Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME: PEAK-11, Version 2
DESCRIPTION:
PEAK-11 is a hardware/software system based on the
PDP-11/34 that can accept and analyze peak output
from a variety of analog laboratory instruments, including gas chromatographs, liquid chromatographs.
and auto analyzers. The PEAK-11 system configurations (PK11) include the RT-11 Version 3 operating
system, MU BASIC Version 1 language processor,
and the PEAK-11 Version 2 specific software.
PEAK-11 provides:
• User interaction with the data acquisition processes
and data files
• Multiple terminal support for background data
manipulation and report generation
• High level language (MU BASIC)
• Mass storage of data
• Straightforward connection of instrumentation output to standard computer input/output hardware
PEAK-11 specific software runs as a foreground task
under the RT -11 F/B monitor and uses the RT-11 file
structure for data files. The foreground task consists
of three functional modules that allow:
• Data acquisition of analog signals
• Peak processing of the acquired data
• Data storage in disk files
MU BASIC runs in the background partition. MU BASIC is extended with PEAK-11 specific routines that
permit the user to communicate with and extract data
from the foreground, or foreground data file. The
PEAK-11 foreground and background software routines can run independently of each other. They do
not have to be running together. Thus, while collecting data in the foreground the user can:
• Analyze data in the background, or
• Run MU BASIC programs not related to PEAK-11 in
the background, or
• Run a debugged program in the background that
was written by the user in another language supported by RT-11 (e.g., MACRO, or separately licensed FORTRAN IV or FOCAL).
Through the extensions to MU BASIC, the interactive
user selects parameters for the acquisition and
processing of data, and generates user-developed reports. These extensions allow the user to tailor the
system and analyze the data to suit a specific application.

Foreground data collection and analysis is initiated by
external contact closure (user supplied). Foreground
data analysis automatically provides:
• Digital filtering
• Peak detection
• Integration
• Baseline determination
• Storage of peak information in the disk data file for
background report generation
On an RK05 cartridge disk based system under extended MU BASIC, the user can optionally direct the
raw data from the analog instrument directly to a data
file for later peak processing in the foreground and/or
user developed analysis of raw data.
At the completion of the foreground peak analysis, a
uniquely numbered, timed and dated file is available
to the operator for report generation. The file contains
the:
• Peak area
• Peak height
• Peak position
• Peak width
• Peak leading/trailing minima and times
• A code word indicating the type of baseline detection
A recycle mode is included to allow the operator to
repeat analyses with identical control parameters.
The RX11 disk based PEAK-11 systems support eight
(8) instruments simultaneously and up to two (2) MU
BASIC terminals. The RK05 disk based PEAK-11
systems accomodate sixteen (16) instruments simultaneously and up to four (4) MU BASIC terminals.
PEAK-11 supports DIGITAL-supplied analog and
digital I/O devices only. Interfacing to user instruments is the user's responsibility.

MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIRED:
Any valid PK11 system configuration.
OPTIONAL HARDWARE:
Under the PEAK-11 specific background software:
• Up to two MU BASIC terminals on PK11-A and
PK11-B systems
• Up to four MU BASIC terminals on PK11-C and
PK 11-0 systems
Support may be limited to fewer terminals if the sys-
