Claim 11:
12. A system comprising:
an optical tool configured to provide analysis of a sample of a fluid collected while operating downhole in a wellbore, the optical tool including a plurality of light filters, each of light filters configured to filter one or more wavelengths of light from a respective light beam that has interacted with the sample of the fluid to generate one or more filtered light beams included in a simultaneous channel group;
one or more light detectors configured to sense the one or more filtered light beams, and to generate a data set for the simultaneous channel group associated with the one or more filtered light beams that were filtered at a same time; and
a computing device including a processor configured to:
for each of a plurality of the simultaneous channel groups, evaluate optical data associated with the simultaneous channel group to determine that the data set for that particular simultaneous channel group is either effective or ineffective in providing information regarding the sample of fluid;
for any simultaneous channel group determined to be ineffective in providing information regarding the sample of the fluid, remove the optical data associated with that particular simultaneous channel group from the data set of the optical data; and
perform an analysis of the data set including only optical data associated with any of the simultaneous channel groups determined to be effective in providing information regarding the sample of fluid.
