6 Technical Data

6.1 MCA166-USB Hardware Specifications

6.1.1Amplifier

1.Type

Gaussian programmable shaping amplifier with pile-up rejector and gated base line restorer

2.Gain

From 1 ... 1000

Minimum gain step 0.5 channel for 2K scale

Gain tuning under visual control of spectrum

Gain adjustment by peak stabilizer

Integral linearity of amplifier <0.1% for full output range

3.Input

accepts positive and negative preamplifier signals

input resistance 1kΩ

DC coupled, accepting +/-200mV DC levels

maximum input signal corresponding to full ADC scale at minimum gain: +/-3V (+/-10V with external attenuator) and input set to direct input. With input set to amplifier the maximum voltage step from preamplifier corresponding to ADC full scale at gain 1 is 9.5V, corresponding to a peak voltage at the test point of 2.2V.

4.Pulse shaping

active integrator and single, pole zero compensated differentiator with two shaping time constants (1µs and 2µs)

5.Base line restorer (BLR)

Active, gated Base Line Restorer

6.Pole Zero Cancellation (PZC)

settings: automated by MCA software and manual setting option

designed for decay time of the preamplifier pulses >40µs; screen indicator allows PZC without scope

7.Pile UP Rejector (PUR)

settings: OFF and ON
