Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Instrument control and data acquisition in advanced analytic systems that utilize optical pulses for sample analysis are described. Clocking signals for data acquisition, data processing, communication, and/or other data handling functionalities can be derived from an on-board pulsed optical source, such as a passively mode-locked laser. The derived clocking signals can operate in combination with one or more clocking signals from a stable oscillator, so that instrument operation and data handling can tolerate interruptions in operation of the pulsed optical source.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . An analytic instrument comprising: a pulsed optical source configured to output a sequence of optical pulses for analysis of a sample; and clock-generation circuitry configured to produce a first clock signal derived from the sequence of optical pulses and a second clock signal that is not derived from the sequence of optical pulses and provide the first clock signal and second clock signal to validate data acquisitions for analysis of the sample.
