In order to improve the compatibility of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) instrument for different types of parts and optimize the analysis and testing processes, a modularized automatic measurement and control system was developed. Based on the characteristics of each LIBS component, the following development steps have been performed: (1) a summary of characteristic parameters of the component are established;(2) the integration mechanism of multiple electrical interfaces is designed;(3) the component control instruction library is developed. The experimental results indicate that the measurement and control system is compatible with most LIBS parts in the market. Spectrometer and laser can be compatible with at least three different types of parts. In addition, a multilayer iterative testing process is designed to improve the efficiency of optimization process of LIBS parameters. The experimental results have shown that the automatic optimization of the delay time compared to the manual testing provides significant gain in testing efficiency. The range of delay time in the experiments is 1.28 to 10.28 μs and the step value is 1, 0.5, 0.2 and 0.1 μs. The gain in testing efficiency has been found to be increased by 73.76%, 75.93%, 78.81% and 80.42%, respectively.
