Description
Here’s a general purpose ratemeter and scaler with just about every bell and whistle you’ll ever need or want. This ultimate tool provides a customary analog display for optimally viewing the count rate and rate of change through all possible 6 decades of display. It is accompanied by a digital LCD which can present either the countrate data or be switched over to read the scaler counts. What makes this instrument so well liked by experts is its rich array of logically arranged discrete controls on the front panel that permit precise control of the desired measurement. Control functions available include, decade range selection, scaler count time, power on/off, response setting, LCD analog/digital switch, PHA window switch, lamp, audio divide by, audio volume, count zeroing, scaler start and halt. The wide range high voltage supply supports a wide variety of detectors with additional threshold and window settings that facilitate switching between gross counts and the energy band.
