MCS Parameters
The MCS controls are accessible only from a MCS datasource. The datasource type
is defined during the MID Editor or MID Wizard session by selecting MCA Number
2 for MCS.
Only MCS setting adjustments are available for the MCS datasource. A PHA
datasource for the device must be opened if adjustments to the Stabilizer, High
Voltage, Gain or Filter are required.
The MCS settings screen for the Lynx contains the following controls.

received through the rear panel’s MCS input are counted for the selected
dwell time.
