Introduction
ComTec GmbH 1-2
With the presettable 48 bit RealTimeClock / Timer / Counter (optional) a variety of additional
information can be captured. E.g. timestamps may be inserted into the datastream to obtain
detailed information on the time particular events have occurred - with a resolution of upto 50ns.
Also scaler, multi spectra scaling, multiscaling, Time-of-Flight applications etc. may be realized
since a large variety of load, reset, capture, readout options is available.
A system wide open drain GO line that is also accessible by external devices allows for easy
synchronization with other measurement equipment.
A versatile 8 bit digital I/O

port and an 8 bit analog output are included featuring additional
flexibility in accommodating specific experimental requirements.
Livetime correction on all ADC input ports is also provided.
The easy to use multiparameter operating software MPA-NT allows to fully control the complete
system setup. A monitoring facility provides to on-line view single and dual parameter spectra.
List data can be stored on the local harddisk drive or any other directly accessible mass storage
device. Using the PXXX harddisk array data can be stored on-line at full throughput rate for many
hours depending on the configuration.
Several single and multiparameter spectra may also be accumulated in the RAM of the PC.
Multiple windows of dual and single parameter spectra can be simultaneously displayed. Any
combination of ADCs can be selected thus, it is possible to define several single and dual
parameter spectra which can be acquired and displayed.
