The analysis of the rotational structure of vibrational and vibronic bands of non-linear molecules presents two kinds of problems which require computer assistance for their solution. One is the amount of data involved. Examples are often encountered where more than 1000 resolved lines can be assigned. The other problem is the complexity of the model Hamiltonians for the two states involved in the transitions. Since relatively high j and K values are frequently involved in such spectra, the Hamiltonians must include sextic centrifugal distortion terms in order to achieve a proper representation of experimental data of optical precision (2 0.001 cm-‘). Further, the method of calculating the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions involves diagonalizing the matrix representation of the Hamiltonian in a basis of symmetric rotor functions. Typically, this involves one hundred matrices of dimensions from 1 to 25. The original program contained the minimum necessary for the least-squares improvement of the parameters of the Hamiltonian but, as its use became more frequent, it was perceived that it could be transformed into a ‘black box’which a spectroscopist could use without excessive requirements for competence in programming and computer management. It is the outcome of this evolution which we describe in this paper.
