When I connect the MCS6/MPA4(T) to a Windows 7 PC, the PC somehow doesn't ask or install its driver. Isn't the MCS6 also working on Windows 7?
Category: Ultra Fast Multiscalers, Multiparameter Multichannel AnalyzersWhat advantages would the MPA4 provide, relative to the MPA-3?
Category: Multiparameter Multichannel AnalyzersIs it possible with the MPA-3 to get time spectra individually say for ADC1 (T1) and ADC2 (T2) ? Is it possible to get a time spectra for the difference (TI - T2)? Is there any common reference of time for all ADC inputs?
Category: Multiparameter Multichannel AnalyzersIt doesn't work with Combined conditions on 2 different ADC (ROI1 of ADC1A "OR" ROI1 of ADC2A), Why ?
Category: Multiparameter Multichannel AnalyzersI would like to use the MPA-3 for building a spectra containing the sum of the counts from several smaller detectors to get a "superdetector". Is that possible?
Category: Multiparameter Multichannel AnalyzersShe is not getting time spectra using RTC option. The AUX input was not used. Is it not possible to get time spectra with RTC option without using AUX input? She opted for software start but no spectra came.
Category: Multiparameter Multichannel AnalyzersWe are trying to communicate with a NHQ High Voltage unit via its RS232 port. We send (for instance) "U1 <CR><LF>" to determine the voltage on channel A. However, we are sent back (in ASCII) "U1<LF>????<CR><LF>". Many times we get a timeout error.
Category: High Voltage SuppliesIt's possible to control the MPA server by sending commands over a TCP/IP net ? - what are the messages to send : can we do all the functions available in the DLL?
Category: Multiparameter Multichannel AnalyzersIs it possible to inspect MPA-3 datafiles under Linux (offline, without connected hardware) (MPANT seems not to run under wine)?
Category: Multiparameter Multichannel AnalyzersWould it be possible to run more than two of your P7888 Cards on a single PC in order to have more than 8 input channels? Is the total transfer rate for ALL boards (summed > together) still (about) 20 MHz?
Category: Ultra Fast MultiscalersWe wanted to control the NHQ105M unit through RS232 using computer. We have tried to do the same using HyperTerminal of windows. We were able to get the echo but all the commands in the table of the manual did not work?
Category: High Voltage SuppliesWe urgently need to control this NHQ205M unit through computer interface through the given RS232 port. But the corresponding manual has misplaced some where and now we dont know the compand instructions codes for its control?
Category: High Voltage SuppliesPlease could you let me know if there are any known incompatibilities between P7889 and this DELL workstation I intend to buy? Please could you also let me know if Windows XP 64bit is supported by your drivers, or wether I will need to install a 32bit OS?
Category: Ultra Fast MultiscalersIs there anyway to save the P7887 data from each scan using the calibration variable (say, time of flight) instead of the bin number?
Category: Ultra Fast MultiscalersIs there in fact any more documentation on using the DDE method, in addition to what I have referenced below in the manual?
Category: Ultra Fast Multiscalers, DLL SoftwareWhen using the logsums command we noticed that the logfile does not update until we exit out of the program or the logfile name is changed. Is there any way to get the sums to automatically be saved into a .txt file after we have replayed the data?
Category: Multiparameter Multichannel AnalyzersCan P7888 be controlled by Matlab?
Category: Ultra Fast Multiscalers, DLL SoftwareWe want to use an external TTL trigger signal to start or stop or clear an acquisition, thus allowing to record sequential spectra. What would be the best way to achieve this? What signal should we use (TRIGGER? GO Line? Other I/O?).
Category: Multichannel AnalyzersThe measurement is stopped with acquisition times of multiples of 2 seconds when using my P7888-1E and time preset mode using DMA. Where does it come from?
Category: Ultra Fast MultiscalersHow can we access via DLL the data stream of P7889 count events ?
Category: Ultra Fast Multiscalers, DLL SoftwareIs it possible to read "on line" all the events with an external application written in VB.NET or Labview or C++ ... ?
Category: Multiparameter Multichannel Analyzers, DLL SoftwareIs it possible to do time-of-flight measurements using MPA-3 with RTC by acquiring an ADC spectra for a time window and starting the time by a chopper signal?
Category: Multiparameter Multichannel AnalyzersI use fast position-dependent detectors with delay-line read out. The maximum count rate that I can reach using two 7072T TDC's in coincidence and MPA-3 is only about 350 kHz per input. Is there a solution that can handle a higher count rate?

Category: Ultra Fast MultiscalersOn what conditions in the ADC/ MPA-3 can result in counts (especially large numbers of counts) appearing in MPA-3 channel 0. The customer is experiencing this. How can he eliminate it?
Category: Multiparameter Multichannel AnalyzersWhen using your PSD module, 2160A, Do I have to use other FAST ComTec modules, 2128 as a CFD ? I am not sure your PSD, 2160A can be used with other NIM module like the Ortec CFDD, 583B, and Canberra CFT SCA, 2035A?
