Key Features
The Lynx includes a full complement of control interfaces for the following: sample
changers, acquisition, external start/stop, coincidence gating, and auto pole/zero.
•
Support for virtually all detectors used in gamma, x-ray and alpha spectroscopy
with up to 32K channels of spectral memory.
•
Dual user interfaces:
–
Full featured acquisition/analysis capability through CANBERRA's
Genie™ 2000 and Apex
®
spectroscopy software.
–
Live spectral display, acquisition control and calibration via built-in web
server technology using an Internet browser.
•
Signal shaping filters with appropriate shaping times to support these detectors
at a wide range of count rates.
•
Three separate High Voltage Power Supplies to support detectors with low
(PIPS), medium (scintillation) or high (HPGe) voltage requirements.
• Multiple counting modes from traditional Pulse Height Analysis (PHA) and
Multichannel Scaling (MCS) analysis modes to LIST and Multispectral Scaling
(MSS) modes. The latter two are of interest when continuous counting intervals
are needed for position or time-based analyses. Auxiliary Counters are also
supported.
• Multiple computer interfaces with routable TCP/IP and DHCP network support:
– 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet for fast network connections over any distance.
– USB and Ethernet for fast, convenient local connections.
–
RS-232 for instrument control and specialized or legacy connections.
–
Modem support for remote monitoring and setup.
•
Advanced Auto Pole/Zero, Base Line Restoration and Digital Stabilization.
•
Adjustable digital signal delay for Coincidence timing applications (0–100 µs in
0.1 µs steps).
•
Multiple trace oscilloscope (digital and analog) for performance optimization
with various applications.
•
Full complement of input/output interfaces (BNC connection) for external
control including: TRP Inhibit, HV Inhibit, MCS In, PHA and MCS Start/Stop,
MCS Channel and Sweep Advance, Coincidence/Anticoincidence Gating,
Sample Changer control, plus general-purpose I/O connectors.
•
Flexible form factor: for Standalone Desktop use; or rack-mount – one Lynx
unit, or two Lynx units side by side, may be rack-mounted in 2U of a standard
19 inch electronics cabinet using the optional rack-mount kit.
