 The analog signal goes through a five-stage amplification and filtering process. First, the signal is sent through two gain stages, each of which apply an adjustable gain to the signal. After the signal is gained into a reasonable voltage range, it is passed through a low-pass filter and then a high-pass filter to result in a bandpass filter of the signal. The analog signal goes through a five-stage amplification and filtering process.

-Once the signal has been filtered and gained, it is preprocessed for the ADC. In order to acquire more accurate measurements,​ the ADC requires signals to be differential. The analog signals are therefore put through a signle-ended to differential converter. Immediately before the signals enter the ADC, there is a low-pass anti-aliasing filtering. This filter guarantees Niquist criteria, which means that any frequencies detected in the sampled signal will not be aliases of higher frequencies.+Once the signal has been filtered and gained, it is preprocessed for the ADC. In order to acquire more accurate measurements,​ the ADC requires signals to be differential. The analog signals are therefore put through a single-ended to differential converter ​and biased around a DC voltage supplied by the ADC. Immediately before the signals enter the ADC, there is a low-pass anti-aliasing filtering ​(Low-pass differential RC).
