A method of using multivariate optical computing in real-time to collect instantaneous data about a process stream includes installing an optical analysis system proximate a process line, the process line being configured to move a material past a window of the optical analysis system; illuminating a portion of the material with a light from the optical analysis system; directing the light carrying information about the portion through at least one multivariate optical element in the optical analysis system to produce an instantaneous measurement result about the portion; and continuously averaging the instantaneous measurement result over a period of time to determine an overall measurement signal of the material.
A method of using multivariate optical computing to collect real-time data about a process stream of a target material, said method comprising:
An optical analysis system for continuous collection of real-time data about at least one chosen property of a target material, the target material being part of a process stream, the process stream including a container having an interrogation window therein, whereby said optical analysis system interacts with the target material via the interrogation window, said optical analysis system comprising:
A system and method of using multivariate optical computing in real-time or at high speed for determining information about a sample from light interacting with the sample by averaging an instantaneous measurement result of the sample.
