Abstract

A software controlled automatic shutter is described which minimizes ultraviolet irradiation damage to optical components from a high intensity spectrophotometric light source. The shutter automatically opens when measurements are being made and closes when the photometer system is idle. The digital control system may be self contained so as to avoid complication of the main computer.
