FAST ComTec offers a comprehensive line of Multichannel Analyzers
The MCA4 series is a family of USB-connected, software controlled Multichannel Analyzers with 1-4 inputs with 32k resolution, >1 M events / sec on each channel, MCS mode (option), RTC (option), scope mode for monitoring input signal wave forms. The MCA-4 offers two multiscaling inputs with a counting rate capability of 400 MHz at dwell times as low as 30 ns for one input and 50 ns for two inputs.
The MCA4A series is USB 3.0 connected and has in addition to the MCA4 a digital pole-zero filter and trapezoidal shaper, optional eight 125 MHz 48 bit counters (2 presettable), and multiscaling (MCS, option) with individually adjustable thresholds.
The MCA-3 provides with an ADC conversion time of 500 ns a counting rate of more than 1.000.000 ADC conversions/s. Any of our ADC's and the TAC/ADC can be connected. All spectra can be displayed in one screen. Our 2-Year Warranty covers all types of FAST ComTec multichannel analyzers.
For mobile operation the MCA-8000D offers an excellent 16k ADC and connects to a computer by a fast serial interface. It can be operated with batteries or with a power adapter.
