Abstract
In this thesis, I present Nemertes System, a software suite to control an embedded autonomous mass spectrometer. I first evaluate previous control systems for the hard- ware and evaluate a set of software design goals. The NSystem software builds upon the previous functionalities by offering text-file based scheduling and subroutines, as well as customizable scanning and data reporting. I also implement a new calibration technique that is suitable for auto-calibration while in autonomous operation. Overall, the system is designed to be modular and flexible with the expectation of hardware upgrades and changing needs.
