Help : Lock-in VI

Hi..

I'm trying to measure very weak signals so, I use a chopper which makes
a reference signal for lock-in.
And measure a spectrum from weak light signals...

I don't know how to program a spectrum analyzer VI and Lock-in VI..

Please help me out..

Thanks in advance.

1 You must measure simultaneously your reference signal and your weak signal
(VI AI Multi PT),
2 you must "center" your two signals (substract their mean)
3 you multiply "point to point" your signals, you obtain a signal,
4 then the result is the sum (or the mean) of this signal.
(after 2, you may too compute a "scalar produce" (produit scalaire in
french).
This result is proportionnal to the amplitude of the weak signal, multiplied
with the cosine of the dephasage between the 2 signals.
So this dephasage must be constant and different from pi/2

It is possible, but more difficult to calculate the amplitude and the
dephasage in all the cases.
