4Pages

All-in-one HVPS, preamplifier, and digital MCA Compatible with standard 14-pin scintillation detectors using 10-stage PMTs, including NaI(Tl) and LaBr3(Ce) Optional temperaturestabilized* NaI probe USB 2.0 connection for PC plug-and-play Ethernet 10/100BaseTX (PoE) connection for network applications PHA, MCS, SCA, MSS, List, and Time-stamped List modes Fully supported by Genie™ 2000 software and programming libraries Optional software development kit with examples Diagnostic web GUI Compatible with Model 727 shield Universal Digital MCA Tube Base for Scintillation Spectrometry Description The Osprey™ is a high-performance, fullyintegrated multi-channel analyzer (MCA) tube base that contains everything needed to support scintillation spectrometry. Designed for both laboratory and field use, this one compact unit contains a high-voltage power supply (HVPS), preamplifier and a full-featured digital MCA. Osprey can be controlled through either USB or Ethernet with no need to purchase two separate units – an industry first. USB or Ethernet, there is only one cable connecting the Osprey to the control and data acquisition system. For desk-top applications, power and all communications are handled by a USB 2.0 port. In situations where networking and/or remote access are desired, the Ethernet 10/100BaseTX port can be used which provides power and communications via power-over-Ethernet (PoE). An example of using Osprey’s networking capabilities is setting up a radiation monitoring system with multiple unattended detectors in remote locations. (Ethernet can also be used in desk-top applications instead of USB if needed.) Coupled with the powerful Genie 2000 software suite, the Osprey takes scintillation spectrometry to a new level. Just connect probe and Osprey, connect the Osprey to an available USB or Ethernet port, start the Genie 2000 software, and you are ready to acquire the spectrum, making this a true “plug-and-play” solution. The Genie 2000 software suite is a comprehensive environment for MCA control, data acquisition, display, and analysis. It provides independent support for multiple detectors, extensive networking capabilities, advanced data analysis, and comprehensive batch procedure capabilities. With the Genie 2000 programming libraries, the advanced user can develop custom applications using all available Genie 2000 features and user interfaces. An OS independent software development kit (SDK) with examples is available and can be used without Genie 2000. The SDK is similar to the comprehensive set of programming tools available with CANBERRA’s Lynx® MCA. It allows expert users to develop platform independent applications for instrument control and data acquisition. In addition, a diagnostic web graphical user interface (GUI) application is supplied with the Osprey, providing MCA and probe status information, network setup, and firmware upgrade functionalities. Osprey features support for all commonly used spectrometry modes – PHA, MCS, SCA, MSS, List, and Time-stamped List – unmatched by any other tubebase MCA on the market. Osprey provides a level of performance superior to many available desk-top MCAs. Nuclear Measurement Solutions for Safety, Security and the Environment 

Osprey – Universal Digital MCA Tube Base for Scintillation Spectrometry The Osprey will accommodate standard 14-pin scintillation detectors using 10-stage PMTs.
