Model SPA-3, PC-card Multi-Input Multichannel Analyzer System |
FEATURES
APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The SPA-3 Multi-Input Multichannel Analyzer System is designed as an ultra fast list mode system with input ports for 4, 8, 12 or 16 ADCs, multiscalers or time-of-flight devices. The open system technology concept is capable of accomodating future system expansion. The SPA-3 is derived from the high-performance MPA-3 Multiparameter System by combining the proven hardware with a new efficient multi-MCA version of the SPA-NT operating software. While the SPA-3 Base unit has been specifically designed for its intended use, the expansion units such as the quad ADC ports are being taken from the MPA-3 system.
A monitoring mode is available to view the spectrum accumulation on-line during active data acquisition. List data can be stored on the local hard disk device or any other directly addressable storage device. Using a large hard disk data can be stored on-line at full throughput for many hours depending on the configuration.
PHA mode will enable to accumulate and histogram multiple spectra in the RAM memory of the PC. Multiple windows with spectra from any or all MCAs can be simultaneously displayed.
The MPANT for SPA-3 software is a true 32-bit operating program and operates under Microsoft WINDOWS NT, WINDOWS-2000, WINDOWS XP and WINDOWS VISTA.
LIST-MODE (event by event storage):
Max. Throughput: List-Mode data stored in RAM or on hard disk array:
>4.000.000 events/s (converted ADC data) integral using 16 ADCs
PHA-MODE (on-line histogramming):
Single parameter acquisition mode: Spectrum acquisition and histogramming in up to 16 MCA's
Combined List-MODE and PHA MODE data stored in RAM and on hard disk array:
Simultaneous storage on hard-disk array and spectrum acquisition in the computer memory with realtime display of up to 16 spectra on PC monitor.
Model MPA-3 Quad ADC Port Module |
FEATURES
APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The Quad ADC Port Module extends the SPA-3 Multi- Input MCA System inputs to 12 or 16 MCAs, provides input ports for ADCs, multiscalers or time-of-flight devices
