Abstract: The disclosure provides systems and methods for data analysis of experimental data. The analysis can include reference data that are not directly generated from the present experiment, which reference data may be values of the experimental parameters that were either provided by a user, computed by the system with input from a user, or computed by the system without using any input from a user. Another example of such reference data may be information about the instrument, such as the calibration method of the instrument.

Abstract: An electronic image processing system includes a controller for receiving character font data from a main memory and for converting it to image data utilizable by a raster output device capable of formatting the image data in a plurality of scan lines onto an imaging medium. The controller includes an input memory coupled to the main memory for receiving character font data therefrom, a data pattern memory for providing a predetermined pattern of data in response to a predetermined address signal, and a plurality of band buffer memories each capable of storing image data representing a predetermined number of scan lines constituting an image band, each band buffer memory having enable input lines and associated data input lines. The input memory is addressed to access character font data therefrom, such accessed character font data being then applied to respective enable input lines of a selected one of the band buffer memories.
