Auxiliary Counters
Auxiliary Counters count digital pulses supplied through a GPI/O \ rear-panel
connector. Up to two Aux counters are supported by the Lynx.
Auxiliary Counters can operate completely independent from Input #1
(PHA/DLFC/MSS/LIST/TLIST) or Input #2 (MCS)
If using Aux counters through a custom application, please see important note in
Using the Programming Libraries
on page 7.
Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO)
Lynx incorporates a multi-trace digital and analog oscilloscope. This mixed-
signal oscilloscope is included for system performance optimization and
flexibility.
Single Channel Analyzer (SCA)
The Lynx supports up to eight programmable SCA counters, each with its own
independent energy window that restricts counting of PHA events.
SCA Counters can operate completely independent from Input #1
(PHA/DLFC/MSS/LIST/TLIST) or Input #2 (MCS)
If using List or time-stamped List mode through a custom application, please see
important note in
Using the Programming Libraries
on page 7.
Using Programming Libraries
The platform-independent Lynx Software Development Kit (SDK) provides a set of
functionalities in a programming library for writing custom application where
capabilities beyond those of the supplied software are required. One such example
may be the analysis of the time-stamped List mode data from multiple detectors.
Important:
When accessing the Lynx from a custom program that
consumes data from MSS, LIST, TLIST, SCA, or Aux
Counters, do not access the Lynx with equivalent
functionalities from the web browser, as doing so will likely
result in loss of Library data because the application running
in the browser is another data consumer and will remove
buffered data in order to display it. This removed data will
then no longer be available to the programming library.
Ask your local representative for more information about the Programming Libraries,
if required.
