Notes
- 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.
- IPBR – Individual Pulse Baseline Restoration. The baseline is established for each individual pulse for maximum pulse height accuracy.
- AOPS – Automatic Optimised Pulse Shaping. Pulses are continuously analysed and the signal pulse shaping is adjusted for optimum performance.
- Stated energy resolution is for new systems. Refurbished system performance depends on the quality of Xtals supplied.
- The dimension includes removable mounting rails
