More Information
Summary:The present invention provides an optical instrument, a method for converting an optical input to a digital signal output, and a spectrometer. In one embodiment, the optical instrument comprises: (1) an optical sensor configured to receive an optical input and convert the optical input to electrical signals; and (2) a conversion system having conversion circuitry having multiple parallel signal channels which are configured to receive and modify the electrical signals to analog outputs, an analog switch configured to select one of the parallel signal channels in accordance with an operating mode of the optical instrument, and an analog to digital converter configured to receive and convert the analog output from the selected parallel signal channel to a digital signal output. 본 개시는 광학 기기, 광학 입력을 디지털 신호 출력으로 변환하는 방법, 및 분광계를 제공한다. 일 실시예에서, 광학 기기는: (1) 광학 입력을 수신하고 광학 입력을 전기 신호들로 변환하도록 구성된 광학 센서, 및 (2) 전기 신호들을 수신하여 아날로그 출력들로 변경하도록 구성된 다수의 병렬 신호 채널들, 광학 기기의 작동 모드에 따라서 병렬 신호 채널들 중 하나를 선택하도록 구성된 아날로그 스위치, 및 선택된 병렬 신호 채널로부터 아날로그 출력을 수신하여 디지털 신호 출력으로 변환하도록 구성된 아날로그-디지털 변환기를 갖는 변환 회로를 갖는 변환 시스템을 포함한다.
