Description

The ASA-100 is a fully integrated Multichannel Analyzer that contains everything needed to support an NaI(Tl) spectroscopy system. High voltage, preamplifier power supply, shaping amplifier, gain stabilizer, ADC, and memory are all contained in a compact, full-length PCI-bus board. Power consumption is less than 7.5 W.

There is no need for NIM or external stand-alone electronics. Just connect the high voltage, preamp power and signal cable to the detector, boot your computer, start the Genie 2000 software, and you are ready to acquire spectral data. Using the ASA-100 is easy. High voltage, amplifier coarse and fine gain, ADC conversion gain and many other functions are easily controlled by the computer through software adjust screens.

Every ASA-100 comes equipped with its own on-board digital gain stabilizer. You…trade;ll never have to worry about spectrum drift again! The stabilizer continuously monitors your system to compensate for any external variables like room temperature that can affect peak positions.

Computer Control

This capability allows the user to maintain multiple system setups, downloading the required configuration as needed. No manual dial adjustments are necessary. The system is ready for routine sample analysis by simply calling up predefined calibration/setup files.

Software support is available with the Genie 2000 platform, under Windows® XP Professional and Vista®. The supporting software extends the capabilities of the system to meet a wide range of application requirements.
