Flat Top (µs)
The Flat Top allows for the shaping function to be optimized for detectors with long
charge collection times, without a large increase in the overall processing time. The Flat
Top setting ranges from 0.0 to 3.2 µs.
Note: Independent adjustment of the Flat Top allows the shaping function to be
optimized for detectors with long charge collection time, without a large increase
in the overall processing time. Additional information on these adjustments is
offered in Pole/Zero Compensation on page 167.
PUR Guard
Sets the device’s Guard Time (GT) multiplier to reject trailing edge pileup in the event of
detector/preamp anomalies. The PUR guard sets the pileup reject interval, which is
