  abstract={The Raman program was created to acquire data for a Raman scattering experiment.
The program automates the process of collecting voltages, which are proportional to
the intensity of light. This process is repeated for each value of position over a
range of wavelengths. The position values that are acquired are in units of motor
steps. In order to convert values from motor steps to units of wavelength a calibration
equation is required.
The calibration equation was determined by matching maximum, intensities of light
acquired from the Raman program with wavelengths form known laser lines. The calibration
equation was determined to be y = 0.03065 <font size=-1>nm/ms</font> x -124.7 nm where y is in nanometers and
x is in motor steps(ms denotes motor steps). A motor step is equal to 1/4 of a
wavelength as read on the monochromator dial.
Information is also provided to facilitate conducting future Raman experiments. This
includes both information on using the Raman program and information concerning the
design of the Raman program. Hardware descriptions, screen explanations and an
experiment walk through are provided to aid in using the Raman program. A methodology
overview and a function reference are provided to facilitate understand the construction
of the Raman program for future enhancements.},
