The TOPAZ-Pico is a compact, stand-alone, digital Multichannel Analyzer (MCA) capable of performing Pulse Height Analysis (PHA) of a signal produced by a standard scintillation detector such as NaI(Tl), LaBr3, CeBr3, etc.
​
TOPAZ-Pico is a compact, stand-alone digital Multi-Channel Analyser (MCA), which is able to perform Pulse Height Analysis (PHA) of the signal produced by a standard scintillation detector such as NaI(Tl), LaBr3 (Ce), LaCl3(Ce), etc.
​
The device is therefore useful for obtaining the energy spectrum from the photon radiation detected by the scintillator, and can be easily interfaced to a typical PC or notebook via a standard USB port for further data transfer and analysis.
​
The MCA is provided with a basic software package that allows to control the device, and to acquire and visualise the energy spectrum. The software incorporates an advanced and easy-to-use “discovery” function that can be used to detect automatically all the BrightSpec MCAs (bMCAs-USB, bMCA-Ethernet and TOPAZ-Pico) in the neighbourhood of the PC that are available for connection.
​
A set of programming libraries is also offered, which makes the incorporation of the TOPAZ-Pico into existing radiation systems or setups very easy. The programming libraries are available for both MS Windows and Linux operating systems.
​
The device is available either in a rugged, pocket-size aluminium box with input and output connectors or as separate Printed-Circuit Board (PCB) for OEM distribution.
