Multichannel Analysers (MCAs)
Multichannel Analyzers (MCAs) are workhorse instruments in many scientific measurements. An MCA analyzes a stream of voltage pulses and sorts them into a histogram, or “spectrum” of number of events, versus pulse-height, which may often relate to energy or time of arrival. The stored spectrum may then be displayed and analyzed.
We offer a huge variety of MCAs, depending on your project, instruments used & its various compatibility (i.e. Alpha Spectroscopy, Gamma Spectroscopy) Please contact us with your requirements for further information. |
Single Channel Analyzers
A single channel analyzer (SCA) produces an output logic pulse on the condition that the peak amplitude of its input signal falls within the pulse-height window that is established with two preset threshold levels.
ORTEC provides two basic types or classifications of SCAs: non-timing SCAs and timing SCAs. Non-timing SCAs produce an output pulse if the input signal is within the window settings. Timing SCAs produce an output logic signal precisely related in time to the occurrence of the event being measured. |
COUNTERS, TIMERS, RATE METERS & MULTICHANNEL SCALING
Counters simply count the number of input pulses received during the counting period.
Timers count pulses generated by an internal or external clock and are used to measure elapsed time, or to establish the length of the counting period. Rate meters provide a readout of the pulse count rate. Multichannel scalers count the number of events that occur during a specified time interval, referred to as the dwell time, resulting in a time-histogram of counts. “Standalone” and programmable computer controlled versions are available.

ORTEC PREAMPLIFIERS
The primary function of a preamplifier is to extract the signal from the detector without significantly degrading the intrinsic signal-to noise ratio.
Three basic types of preamplifiers are available: the current-sensitive preamplifier, the parasitic-capacitance preamplifier, and the charge-sensitive preamplifier. Please contact us to find the preamplifier to fit your detector, your application, and your budget. Click here to find out more about Preamplifiers. |
