Signal Processing and Control System:
Figure “a-2” shows the signal processing and control system
arrangement. This system is controllable with the operation
panel. After opto-electric conversion by a pair of detectors,
electric signals are amplified and A/D converted, and then
logarithmically converted by software to generate absorbance
data. The result of measurement is displayed on the data
display unit and can be printed with the printer.
