Which component is used in spectrophotometer for control, Signal Processing, and Communication functions?(a) Detector(b) Microprocessor(c) Deuterium Lamp(d) Tungsten LampThis question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.My doubt stems from Pneumotachometers in chapter Pulmonary Function Analysers of Biomedical Instrumentation

Answer»

The correct choice is (b) Microprocessor

To EXPLAIN: A microprocessor, in a spectrophotometer, could be used for the following functions: Control functions: Wavelength SCANNING, automatic light source SELECTION, control of SLIT width, detector sensitivity, etc. Signal processing functions: Baseline correction, signal smoothing, calculation of % T, absorbance and concentration, derivative, etc. Communication functions: Keyboard entry, menu-driven operations, data presentation, WARNING display, communication with external systems, etc.
