Stabilizer Settings
The Spectrum Stabilizer is primarily used to reduce the effects of changes in
spectrum gain due to temperature variations. Such shifts in gains are primarily
associated with scintillator detectors that do not have built-in temperature
stabilization.
Figure 59: Stabilizer Hardware Settings
Spectrum stabilization can be useful in applications where temperature variation have
a significant effect on the processing and storage of energy events. Unstabilized NaI
detectors are a common source of temperature related drifts in the storage of PHA
data.
Range
Sets the allowable correction range based on detector type.
NaI
s/- 10% of the
allowed full scale,
Ge
s/- 1% of the allowed full scale. If the correction
exceeds the allowed range an over-range or under-range error will be asserted by the
Lynx.
