[RASMB] Abs optics design question

[Leech, AP]

Hello all,

This is an idle question about the design of the XL/A (or I)
absorbance optics. Why are the cells scanned one at once?
Would it not be possible to scan them all "simultaneously"
by gating the output from the photomultiplier into a
suitable number of different channels?
