TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The CAPTUS
®
600 contains a 256 channel microcontroller based pulse height analyzer.
Lower level discriminators are selectable and the firmware permits predefined or selectable
ROI’s (maximum width of 256 channels). The LCD displays alphanumeric data, live spectra,
and graphics. Corrections are automatically calculated for dead time loss. Real time and live
time may be displayed. Coarse high voltage adjustments are made from analog controls at
