Lynx II DSA User's Manual – 7096089 3
Key Features
The Lynx II 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 the Genie 2000 and Apex
spectroscopy software packages.
− 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:
− 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet for fast network connections up to 100m without
repeaters, or over any distance with repeaters.
− Note: If an Ethernet switch is required, a “Gigabit” switch must be used.
− USB and Ethernet for fast, convenient local connections.
Note: When using multiple Lynx II USB connections, a USB hub is required.
• Advanced Auto Pole/Zero, Base Line Restoration, and Digital Stabilization.
• Adjustable digital signal delay for Coincidence timing applications (0.0–160.0 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/MCX 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 II unit,
or two Lynx II units side by side, may be rack-mounted in 2U of a standard 19 inch
electronics cabinet using the optional rack-mount kit.
