Description
The Model 7072 is a unique dual channel device that can operate either as an ultra fast analog-to-digital converter with a fixed conversion time of 500 ns*, or an analog SVA. Each channel has its own ADC and will operate independently of the other ADC channel. The design is optimized for a short conversion time, excellent stability and high data throughput. The 7072 is ideally suited for applications requiring very high counting rates. The built-in Single Channel Analyzer has a separate output on the front panel. This output can be used in the ADC (pulse-height-analysis) mode. The built-in Single Channel Analyzer has a separate output on the front panel. This output can be used in the ADC and SVA mode. In the SVA mode a voltage level or waveform can be sampled when a gate signal is applied. *) Conversion time of ADC. For dead time calculation add time-to-peak and 100 ns transfer time to data buffer.
Features
- Two individually selectable modes of operation for each input channel:
- ADC mode with 500 ns Fixed Conversion Time
- ADC/SVA (Analog Sampled Voltage Analysis) mode
- Full 8k Conversion Gain and Range
- Dual 10-LED Indicator bar for Instantaneous Dead-Time display, level setting
- Lower Level and Upper Level Discriminator on each ADC input
- Two modes of operation independently selectable for each input channel: Pulse Height Analysis with automatic peak detection and Analog Input Sampling selectable by frontpanel switch
- Single-Channel Analyzer Output
- Designed for easy interfacing to our MCA-3, SPA-3, MPA-3, MPA4, MPA4T multichannel analyzers, MCA's from other manufacturers (special cable and external ADC interface required)
Specifications
INPUTS (front panel)
Signal Inputs: BNC-Connector accepts +25mV to +10V (standard / +8V optional) linear pulses, Zin = 1k Ohm, risetime: ≥ 100ns to 100µs, fall time: 200ns to 100µs (optimized for gaussian shaped pulseswith shaping times from 250 ns to 25µs, dc coupled or a varying voltage level when used in SVA mode.

Coincidence/Anticoincidence mode
LLD: adjustment by up/down pushbutton sets the lower level discriminator. The voltage is displayed on the DEADTIME/LEVEL LED indicator and output on the monitor connector for precise adjustment
ULD: adjustment by up/down pushbutton sets the upper level discriminator. The voltage is displayed on the DEADTIME/LEVEL LED indicator and output on the monitor connector for precise adjustment
Front Panel Mode Control Switches
PHA: Pulse Height Analysis mode.
SVA: Analog Sampled Voltage Analysis
Indicators
DEADTIME/LEVEL: Dual 10 LED-bar indicates activity of the ADC. Range 0 to 100% deadtime or actual voltage level indication of ULD and LLD setting
RANGE/MODE: ADC range 256 to 8k in binary steps
