Pulse height analyzer (Engineering Materials)

OSTI ID:6516978

This instrument was designed for measuring pulse amplitudes in the 0 to 10 V range. A front panel switch allows the unit to be used in the DUAL INTEGRAL mode, or in either one of two SINGLE-CHANNEL ANALYZER (SCA) modes. In the dual integral (LOWER LEVEL) mode, the PHA may be used as two independent discriminators. When S1 is set to UPPER LEVEL the unit becomes a single-channel analyzer (SCA) in that only pulses which fall between the levels set by the two helipots cause an output. The other SCA mode is with S1 in WINDOW position. In this configuration the upper control selects the window width and maintains that width while the lower threshold is selected by the DISC 1 control. This unit is similar to the LE 13837-2 with several additions: (1) the output may be strobed into proper timing with a STROBE input, such as the output of a baseline crossing pickoff unit; (2) the capability of the DUAL INTEGRAL operation; and (3) the use of a RAMP input to sweep the threshold when in the WINDOW mode.
