Abstract:
A wavelength-variable light source emits to a measurement object light having its wavelength continuously changed from predetermined start wavelength to stop wavelength. A timing information output unit generates a plurality of elements of timing information indicating the output timings of lights respectively having a start wavelength, a stop wavelength and a plurality of wavelengths obtained by dividing the interval between the start and step wavelengths by specified steps. A light receiving unit receives light from the measurement object and outputs a signal representing the measurement value of the received light. A plurality of amplifiers receive a signal from the light receiving unit and amplify the signal at respective specified amplification ratios. A signal selection unit selects one signal within a specified measuring range out of signals amplified at respective amplification ratios by the amplifiers and outputs it as a measurement value by light having a wavelength defined by applicable timing information in the plurality of elements of timing information from the timing information output unit.
Abstract:
A plurality of energy couplers (12) receives signals from an energy pulse, each of the energy couplers (12) having a defined field of view, the field of views of at least some of the energy couplers being overlapping. A transducer (14) converts the signals received from the energy pulse to voltage or current output signals that are then amplified. A threshold circuit (18) triggers when the amplitude of a signal caused by the energy pulse exceeds a predetermined level, and signal processing instrumentation (24) then calculates the source location and/or the intensity and/or the initiation time of the energy pulse based on the timing of the output signals associated with individual energy couplers (12).

Abstract:
An arrangement for ensuring the stability of the set point for a gas analyzer is disclosed. The set point control circuit (30b) utilizes an amplifier (192) which is alternately switched between a reference voltage and a sensor signal to provide a signal to a processor (39) representing the reference signal and the sensor singal. The processor (39) compares the two signals and adjusts the heater (60) associated with the sensor to provide a stable set point for the gas analyzer. The arrangement eliminates the need for precision resistors within the set point control circuit and therefore significantly reduces the cost of the circuitry.
