Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/902212· OSTI ID:902212

This report describes the capabilities, methodologies, and uses of the Cambio computer application, designed to automatically read and display nuclear spectral data files of any known format in the world and to convert spectral data to one of several commonly used analysis formats. To further assist responders, Cambio incorporates an analysis method based on non-linear fitting techniques found in open literature and implemented in openly published source code in the late 1980s. A brief description is provided of how Cambio works, of what basic formats it can currently read, and how it can be used. Cambio was developed at Sandia National Laboratories and is provided as a free service to assist nuclear emergency response analysts anywhere in the world in the fight against nuclear terrorism.
