The data collection is controlled by a desk top calculator (Hewlett
Packard 9810) with a cassette memory. This has two obvious advantages:
1) all spectrometer data are digitized and area codes, time etc. are
automatically stored and 2) mistakes during the measurement procedure
can be avoided by means of validity checks.
An X/Y chart recorder can be connected to the instrument and a camera can
be mounted aligned to the telescope. The equipment set up in a "cherry-
picker" ready for measurements at a test site is shown in fig l.
It is not possible to make simultaneous measurements of the incident and
the reflected light. Consequently, the calculation of bidirectional
