Abstract
A computer-based trigger system making use of the IBM PC/AT printer po rt is devised for a laser induced plasma spectrometer. This system syn chronizes the generation of photon pulses from an excimer laser and th e data capture of emission spectra by a spectrometer. The LIP spectrom eter thus devised has been applied successfully to detect weak emissio n signals from the iodine atom of selected chemicals.
