System Configuration of IRAffinity-1

This section briefly describes the system configuration of the IRAffinity-1.
The IRAffinity-1 consists of the interferometer and a personal computer.
The USB 2.0 interface is used for communication between the interferometer and the personal computer.
Install the software IRsolution for controlling the FTIR to the personal computer, then operate the interferometer
and execute data processing.
Two types of personal computers, the desktop type and the notebook type, are available. However, when using
the infrared microscope which handles image data, the notebook type is not available.
CAUTION
The software IRsolution for controlling the FTIR operates normally only in Windows XP Professional Service
Pack 2 or later. In some personal computers, the IRsolution may not operate normally due to the effect of
other software. While using the personal computer to operate the FTIR, avoid starting up any other software.
