All pulses in spectrum channels marked with the ROI bit (mark ROIs in MAESTRO, GammaVision, or
other ORTEC C
ONNECTIONS
spectroscopy applications).
●
Gate Input
Can be configured to be connected to any of the following:
Any number of the front-panel inputs. (All of the selected inputs must be active before the counter
counts.)
Either Timer Interval signal.
Counter is always gated on; no connection.
●
Reset Input
Can be configured to be connected to any one or all of the following:
Any of the front-panel inputs.
The MCB Clear Command signal (allows counter to be synchronized to MCB acquisitions).
The Software Individual Reset from software control.
The Group 1 or 2 reset signal from software control.
●
Enable Input
Similar to Gate Input. Counter must be enabled to count. Enable can be configured to be
controlled by any of the following:
Any number of the front-panel inputs. (All of the selected inputs must be active before the counter
counts.)
The MCB Active signal.
Either Timer Interval signal.
The Software Individual Enable from software control.
The Group 1 or Group 2 enable from software control.
●
Overflow
Output provides a rising edge at the moment a counter overflows. The pulse can be routed to
either of the two general outputs or any counter input.
●
FIFO Readout Control
Counter live values can be polled at any time from the computer. In addition, each
counter or timer has a 128-word FIFO (first in first out) buffer that holds the previous final counter result at
the moment the counter or timer was reset. Using the FIFO, counters can be configured to be reset when a
timer reaches a preset value. The current counter value is stored in its FIFO so that the computer can read
successive values without the fear of losing results because of sluggish computer operation. FIFO contents
can be displayed during or after acquisition, and optionally saved in a text file.
Each of the two timers has the following controls:
●
Time Base Input
can be configured to any of the following:
Any of the front-panel inputs (external time base).
Internal Time Base (1 minute, 1 second, 0.1 second, 0.01 second, 0.001 second).
●
Reset Input
can be configured to be connected to any one or all of the following:
Any one of the front-panel TTL signals.
The
Software Individual Reset
from software control.
