IRAffinity-1
After reaching the detector, the interferogram undergoes several treatments before being sent to the computer.
It is amplified by the preamplifier and the automatic gain amplifier, passes through high-pass and low-pass
filters, and is digitized by the 20-bit A/D converter. After the signal is digitized into the interferometer memory, it
travels through the USB 2.0 interface to the PC where IRsolution transforms the interferogram into a spectrum.
