Surface and interface data by AES, XPS and SIMS are acquired either by a PDP 11–34, HP 9836U or HP 310 microcomputer using commercially available software (ESAU‐Perkin Elmer written in ASSEMBLER) or laboratory‐written software (HP BASIC version 3.0/4.0), respectively. These data are then transferred to an independent Apollo computer network station to allow off‐line treatment of the experimental data. This paper reports on the standardization of the data output files of the acquired data and their subsequent transfer and reading by an Apollo Network DN 3000 station. The program for the Apollo computer written in C‐language allows data treatment as smoothing, differentiation, integration, normalization, curve‐fitting and deconvolution on one hand, but also manipulation of data, like calculation of atomic concentration referring to tables based on handbook data. All data can be stored in a format allowing later use for data banks.
