Abstract
A new method for driving the D/A controlling an electron spectrometer is de scribed. It is shown that this allows the use of the spectrometer for conti nuously recording changes in work function, with a precision approaching th at of a Kelvin probe, and also provides a monitoring method for highly repr oducible dosing of a surface to a constant condition.
