System 4000 Spectrometer

Premium Performance at a Price You Can Afford

The System 4004X is a complete spectrometer in a single integrated package. It has been engineered to give optimum performance with HPGe and Si(Li) x-ray detectors. The System 4004X is configured with 4000 channels of spectrum memory, a 0 to ± 1.2kV bias supply, and an analog pulse processor with 2µs, 12µs and 24µs shaping times for X-ray spectrometry. The three computer-selectable time constants offer choices for high throughput applications, standard operation, and highest possible resolution. The System 4000 has an onboard RS-232 interface to make connection to the PC or network easy. The System 8004X is identical with the exception that is has an ethernet interface as well as an RS-232 interface. The three computer-selectable time constants offer choices for high throughput applications, standard operation, and highest possible resolution. The shaping amplifier features 8th order triangular and Gaussian filters for minimum series noise and optimum resolution. Automatic noise discriminators and a gated baseline restorer with rate adaptive restoration give the ultimate in stability even at the highest count rates. To provide the best possible pile-up rejection, even at the lowest energies, the fast channel has adaptive time constants which ensure maximum possible sensitivity. This translates into the best possible performance from your detector system. Computer control of all hardware functions also complements the power and flexibility of the system. The high speed MCA adds minimal dead time to the data acquisition even at high processing speeds. Computer control of all MCA functions complements the power and flexibility of the system. For qualitative analysis, the System 4000 includes eXcalibur software at no additional charge. This package features an intuitive, user-friendly interface, as well as a single hardware setup and search utility that establishes communication with PGT multichannel analyzers via RS-232.
