In this paper we describe the 40-channel magnetograph primarily as an example of the automated data system at the McMath Solar Telescope. The principles of the magnetograph itself have been recently given in paper I (Livingston and Harvey, 1970), while the reduction and interpretation of data is covered in paper II (Harvey and Livingston, 1970).
