Extract

A program has been designed for Hewlett-Packard 9100 A Calculator connected by a 9102A Buffer to a 9101 A Extended Memory, a 9120 A Printer and 9125 Plotter. The program evaluates and plots one-night photoelectric measurements in 3 colours of a short period eclipsing variable and detects the exact time of the minimum. The program may take a maximum of 24 observations either of a comparison star or of the variable in each colour but it could easily be modified for a maximum of 36 observations in two colours or seventy two observations in one colour. The usual alternating succession of the type CVCVC… is supposed but up to three successive measurements both of the comparison star and of the variable is possible, e.g. CVCCCVCVCVVVCVC…
