FLIR Detection D. Glossary
Low Self-Discharge Nickel-Metal Hydride (LSD NiMH)
The type of rechargeable batteries built into the FLIR powerPACK ultra.
LSD NiMH
ÚLow Self-Discharge Nickel-Metal Hydride
LT ÚLive Time
MAC Address
ÚMedia Access Control Address
Mass Number (A)
The total number of ÚProtons and ÚNeutrons (together known as ÚNucleons) in an atomic
ÚNucleus.
Also known as: Atomic Mass Number, Nucleon Number
MCS ÚMulti Channel Scaling
Media Access Control Address (MAC Address)
A unique identiier assigned to most network adapters or network interface cards by the
manufacturer for identiication in a network.
Metric Prexes
ÚUnit Preixes
Military Time
Ú24-Hour Clock
Moderator
A medium with a high content of hydrogen (e.g. ÚPolyethylene) reducing the speed of
fast ÚNeutrons, thus turning them into thermal neutrons. Used for example, to enhance
ÚNeutron Detection sensitivity for systems which can detect thermal neutrons only.
Multi Channel Scaling (MCS)
An acquisition mode for discrete ÚSpectra. All counts 𝑁 registered during a period Δ𝑡 are
stored in one channel. After that period, all counts are stored in the next channel, and so on
(Figure 244, p. 280).
N42 ÚANSI N42.42
*.n42
Common ile name sufix for ÚANSI N42.42 iles.
NaI ÚSodium Iodide
Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM)
ÚRadionuclides occurring in the Earth lithosphere or atmosphere, for example, potassium,
uranium and their daughter products.
