•
Full featured acquisition/analysis capability through CANBERRA's
Genie 2000 and Apex spectroscopy software.
•
Live spectral display, acquisition control and calibration via built-in web
server technology using an Internet browser.
•
Signal shaping filters with appropriate shaping times to support these
detectors at a wide range of count rates.
•
Three separate High Voltage Power Supplies to support detectors with low
(PIPS), medium (scintillation) or high (HPGe) voltage requirements.
•
Multiple counting modes from traditional Pulse Height Analysis (PHA) and
Multichannel Scaling (MCS) analysis modes to LIST and Multispectral
Scaling (MSS) modes. The latter two are of interest when continuous
counting intervals are needed for position or time-based analyses. Auxiliary
Counters are also supported.
•
Multiple computer interfaces with routable TCP/IP and DHCP network
support:
•
10/100 Base-TX Ethernet for fast network connections up to 100m
without repeaters, or over any distance with repeaters.
•
USB and Ethernet for fast, convenient local connections.
•
RS-232 for instrument control and specialized or legacy connections.
•
Modem support for remote monitoring and setup.
•
Advanced Auto Pole/Zero, Base Line Restoration and Digital Stabilization.
•
Adjustable digital signal delay for Coincidence timing applications (0.0–
160.0
µ
s in 0.1
µ
s steps).
•
Multiple trace oscilloscope (digital and analog) for performance optimization
with various applications.
•
Full complement of input/output interfaces (BNC connection) for external
control including: TRP Inhibit, HV Inhibit, MCS In, PHA and MCS
Start/Stop, MCS Channel and Sweep Advance, Coincidence/Anticoincidence
Gating, Sample Changer control, plus general-purpose I/O connectors.
•
Flexible form factor: for Standalone Desktop use; or rack-mount – one Lynx
unit, or two Lynx units side by side, may be rack-mounted in 2U of a
standard 19 inch electronics cabinet using the optional rack-mount kit.
