Notes

  1. The RS-500 has no dead time in a traditional sense. A live time clock will be adjusted for loss of system measured pile-up rejections to give an apparent dead time to ensure the absolute count rate is correct.
  2. IPBR – Individual Pulse Baseline Restoration. The baseline is established for each individual pulse for maximum pulse height accuracy.
  3. AOPS – Automatic Optimised Pulse Shaping. Pulses are continuously analysed and the signal pulse shaping is adjusted for optimum performance.
  4. Stated energy resolution is for new systems. Refurbished system performance depends on the quality of Xtals supplied.
  5. The dimension includes removable mounting rails
