Pulse Measurements

The pulse travels from the PMTs to the electronics board within the cytometer.

Figure A-16  

Electronics board

The pulse is amplified and then sent to a 14-bit analog-to-digital converter 
(ADC) that changes the analog (continuous) pulse into digital (discrete) data. The 
ADC does this by sampling the pulse up to 10 million times per second, slicing it 
into 16,384 levels, and assigning a measurement to each time sample.
