Count rate lower than
expected.

Very high count rate, giving
pulse pileup losses.

Reduce count rate and check
for correct readings.

Avoid average count rates >
50 MHz.

Pulse height comparator
feeding gate-counter inputs
incorrectly configured (pulses
too long).

Reduce count rate and check
for correct readings.

Set up comparator to give
pulse lengths in the 5 - 10 nsec
range.
