Lynx II DSA User's Manual – 7096089 7
Auxiliary Counters
Auxiliary Counters count digital pulses supplied through a GPI/O \ rear-panel
connector. Up to two Aux counters are supported by the Lynx II.
Auxiliary Counters can operate completely independent from Input #1
(PHA/DLFC/MSS/LIST/TLIST) or Input #2 (MCS)
If using Aux counters through a custom application, please see the important note in
Using the Programming Libraries on page 7.
Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO)
Lynx II incorporates a multi-trace digital and analog oscilloscope. This mixed-signal
oscilloscope is included for system performance optimization and flexibility.
Single Channel Analyzer (SCA)
The Lynx II supports up to eight programmable SCA counters, each with its
independent energy window that restricts the counting of PHA events.
SCA Counters can operate completely independent from Input #1
(PHA/DLFC/MSS/LIST/TLIST) or Input #2 (MCS)
If using SCA mode through a custom application, please see the important note in Using
the Programming Libraries on page 7.
Using Programming Libraries
The platform-independent Lynx II Software Development Kit (SDK) provides a set of
functionalities in a programming library for writing a custom application where
capabilities beyond those of the supplied software are required. One such example may be
the analysis of the time-stamped List mode data from multiple detectors.
Important:
When accessing the Lynx II from a custom program that consumes
data from MSS, LIST, TLIST, SCA, or Aux Counters, do not access
the Lynx II with equivalent functionalities from the web browser, as
doing so will likely result in loss of Library data because the
application running in the browser is another data consumer and will
remove buffered data to display it. This removed data will then no
longer be available to the programming library.
Ask your local representative for more information about the Programming Libraries, if
required.
