Rufus

The RUFUS system provides an interactive and display-oriented environment for spectral analysis on the PDP-12 computer with a minimum configuration of 8-k of core and two Linc Tape drives. It allows users to store up to six spectra in memory and perform various operations such as arithmetic, smoothing, editing, plotting, and Fourier transforms. The system supports a command language for manual or program-controlled operations, utilizes the DIAL system for text editing, and includes features for display interaction (cursor and expand limits) and data output to peripheral devices like plotters and line printers. The document includes detailed command descriptions, programming examples, and system structure information.
