2.1.5. The Data Display Screens
Each MCA in the chassis has four data display screens that track various data acquisition
parameters in real time. All four display the following:
!
The current time (
Now
); the start time for the current or most recent acquisition
(
Started
); and, at the end of acquisition, the stop time of the most recent acquisition
(
Finish
).
!
A red
HV Off
indicator ( ) when the bias is off.
!
A bright background when data acquisition is in progress, and a neutral background
when acquisition is stopped.
In addition, the two sets of four DSPEC 502 screens are labeled
MCA-1
and
MCA-2
so you can
easily tell which input is currently being displayed.
Use the Display Control screen to display/hide these screens, and set the display order and
display interval (Section 2.1.3).
2.1.5.1. The Gauges Screen
This screen gives you a “heads-up” display of
% of preset
remaining,
Dead time %
, and
Input
count rate
in cps. Below each gauges is a corresponding text readout (except that no matter the
type of preset used, the left-side text readout shows the live time,
LT
).
When no presets are defined, the
% Preset
gauge remains at zero and the
LT
text readout shows
the current live-time count.
