Hexagon

Hexagon from CAEN SyS is a stand-alone digital multichannel analyser for high resolution gamma and X-ray spectroscopy, offered in single or dual input versions with 32k channels. It works with HPGe, CZT, silicon and scintillation detectors and includes detector high voltage bias, so you do not need a separate supply. The HV output is selectable between ±5 kV at 30 µA, ±2 kV at 1 mA, or ±500 V at 50 µA, covering the needs of most detector types. Signals are digitised by a 16 bit, 100 MS/s ADC, and throughput has been tested up to 200 kcps. Acquisition modes include Signal Inspector, List Mode, PHA and Coincidence, and control is through Quantus software over USB 2.0 or Ethernet. The unit measures 262 x 66.2 x 195 mm including connectors and weighs 1400 g. Applications range from environmental sample counting and nuclear safeguards to medical physics and university research labs. Australian users can rely on ProDigitek for sales and support.
