Description
Designed for spectroscopy applications, the Integrated Computer Spectrometer offers complete support for standard scintillation detectors together with multi-channel scaling for decay and time-related studies.
The multi-channel analyzer contains many advanced features, including computer-controlled amplifier and high voltage for G-M tubes, upper- and lower-level discriminators, data memory and a comprehensive software package.
Features
- Variable Voltage: A regulated high voltage of 0 to 1280 V is supplied with computer control (1 mA maximum, 5 V increments).
- Amplifier: On-board combination preamplifier/amplifier for use with scintillation detectors and PMTs.
- Complete Computer Control: When used in MCA mode, the software provides complete computer control of all features including preset live/real- time, preset count, unlimited regions-of-interest and centroid, gross and net area calculations.
- Multiple Memory Buffers: In addition to on-board hardware data memory, the spectrometer provides three software memory buffers for holding spectra. A background spectrum may be collected over a long counting period and stored in the background buffer.
- Peak Labeling: With ISOMATCH, an isotope library file, users can quickly identify peaks by superimposing characteristic isotope emission lines over their spectrum. Isotope and energy information are also provided.
