Description
The 578 4/8-Input MCS Module performs concurrent multichannel scaling from one to eight inputs when used in conjunction with a Multichannel Analyzer (MCA) System. The module uses the MCA PHA mode of operation with all data transactions between the module and the MCA occurring via the MCA's ADC port using standard ADC signal arrangements and transfer protocols.
During multiple input multichannel scaling operation, each input is assigned to a separate memory group resulting in separate records representing data derived from each input with each record indicating the individual characteristics of its related source. Each accepted input is stored in the currently addressed channel of the respective memory group. A front panel switch selects the number of channels per input.
Actual count rate capabilities are a function of the host acquisition system. Typically the MCS module services up to eight count inputs at a combined input count rate in excess of 100 kHz total.
The MCS module may be operated in a gate mode with up to four inputs. An internal clock time base provides two digit dwell time selection via front panel switches.
Inputs and outputs are via front and rear panel BNC connectors. Connection to an MCA is via a flat ribbon cable connector on the rear panel. An optional analog ramp output is also available by special order.
