Automation techniques based upon the latest microprocessor computer technology are described in general terms for applications in light scattering spectroscopy. Two practical systems are described in detail. The first system operates a Raman spectrometer and handles the data collection automatically, storing the spectrum in digital form on disc and providing visual displays simultaneously. The second controls the alignment and scanning of a multi‐pass Fabry‐Perot spectrometer as well as data acquisition. Finally, prospects for future systems are reviewed.
