I am graduate student in Oceanography, and I have been tasked with trying to write MATLAB code for an automated system that measures seawater pH using an Agilent Spectrophotometer based off of a LabVIEW Program that performs a similar function. In addition, to the computer that will have all of the appropriate software for this, but will need to communicate with the spectrophotometer, as well as a syringe pump that controls the fluid flow for the entire system. I have a basic programming background my undergradaute work, but never dealt with anything this complicated. Can anyone offer any advice on where to start with this (i.e. helpful links, articles, books, or commands that would be useful). Thanks.
