3. HPGe detectors and Si Systems with Optical Feedback Preamps.
For normal Si Systems, the pole/zero is usually set at ∞ fully
counterclockwise. However, on some systems, the pole/zero may need to be
slightly tweaked for optimum overload recovery when responding to the
preamps reset pulse.
Note 1: At high Count rates the pole. zero adjustment is extremely critical for main
-
taining good resolution and low peak shift. For precise and optimum
pole/zero setting, a scope vertical sensitivity of 50 mV cm should be used.
