The Sac Peak magnetograph (DZA) has been modified from Evans' original scheme so that it measures the displacement of the right and left hand circularly polarized lines separately. The computer reduction calculates the Zeeman and radial velocity signals. A grating servo system has been added to correct for slow temperature drifts in the spectrograph. A paper-tape reader controls the raster scan and the formatting of data on to magnetic tape.
