Advanced DSP Algorithms Ensure Enhanced Spectroscopic Performance
- Correct treatment of highly variable count rates and short half lives: ZDT “loss free” dead-time correction with uncertainty calculation.
- Low Frequency Rejection (LFR) mode improves resolution by rejection of low frequency noise, e.g., electrical line noise or vibration-induced microphonics.
- Resolution Enhancer improves FWHM of HPGe detectors with degradation due to charge trapping, e.g., from radiation damage.
- Enhanced Throughput Mode for the ultimate in high throughput counting, up to 30% boost in system throughput.
