3. USING THE DIGIBASE-E

preset, the low-level samples will be counted to the desired fixed live time while the very active
samples will be counted for the ROI peak count. In this circumstance, the ROI Peak preset can
be viewed as a “safety valve.”
The values of all presets for the currently selected MCA are shown on the Status Sidebar. These
values do not change as new values are entered on the Presets tab; the changes take place only
when you Close the Properties dialog.
Enter the Real Time and Live Time presets in units of seconds and fractions of a second. These
values are stored internally with a resolution of 20 milliseconds (ms) since the MCA clock
increments by 20 ms. Real time means elapsed time or clock time. Live time refers to the amount
of time that the MCA is available to accept another pulse (i.e., is not busy), and is equal to the
real time minus the dead time (the time the MCA is not available).
Enter the ROI Peak count preset value in counts. With this preset condition, the MCA stops
counting when any ROI channel reaches this value unless there are no ROIs marked in the
MCA, in which case that MCA continues counting until the count is manually stopped.
Enter the ROI Integral preset value in counts. With this preset condition, the MCA stops
counting when the sum of all counts in all channels marked with an ROI reaches this value. This
has no function if no ROIs are marked in the MCA.
3.2. Troubleshooting
3.2.1. Connection Failed / Socket Error (Incompatible Static IP Address)
If you move a digiBASE-E with a static IP address to a different network or PC without
following the instructions in Section 2.5, the IP address currently assigned to the digiBASE-E
could be incompatible with the new network or PC.
Symptom: Running the Ethernet Device Controller generates a set of “connection failed” error
messages and/or the Device Controller window does not display the serial number of
this digiBASE-E. Attempting to mark the Attach box generates a socket error
message.
You will need the static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway settings for this
digiBASE-E, recorded per the IMPORTANT note on page 13. In some cases, the Ethernet
Device Controller program will display these settings even for an instrument with an
incompatible IP address. However, if the settings are not displayed and you do not have this
information recorded and available, you will require assistance from your ORTEC
representative or our Global Service Center.
