Digital Multi Channel Analyzer MCA527

The MCA527 is a high performance 16k Multi-Channel Analyzer/Multi-Channel Scaler module with the performance of a laboratory grade MCA. High voltage supply for detector and preamplifier power supply are integrated as well as an internal coarse amplifier and digital filter. Together with a detector it forms a small-size gamma spectroscopy system, which is well suited to the demands of field measurements for international safeguards, environmental monitoring, nuclear waste treatment facilities, radioactive transport control and similar applications.

Furthermore, the MCA527 supports a vast number of different detectors and its 16k resolution is adequate to support high resolution gamma spectrometry with HPGe detectors. As the MCA527 works with digital filtering, it allows setting a broad range of filter time constants and it is also tolerant to largely differing preamplifier signal shapes. The application programs from our MCA software family are free of charge and allow operating the device as a general purpose multi channel analyzer, multi channel scaler, universal counter, or oscilloscope. As an option we offer the possibility to use the MCA527 as a multiplicity or neutron coincidences counter, operating in List Mode.
