| RAINBOW MCA |
| The Model 7000 "Rainbow"
Multi-Channel Analyzer is a low cost portable self contained MCA. It can
be used in the field or the lab for both routine or emergency measurements.
It offers all the usual features of most MCAs, including 1024 channels,
dead time correction, digital gain, expanded scales, and built in memory
storage. The Rainbow MCA was designed to combat the problems of 3 piece
MCAs (small MCA, detector and laptop) in several ways. First, the
instrument is constructed with field use in mind. Second, the battery
life of the Rainbow is 100 hours, enough for several days use. Third,
the unit is self contained, small and light weight; it only needs a
detector. And fourth, the cost of the instrument is low. The Rainbow has
the same features you would expect from a state-of-the-art MCA. It has
1025 channels rather than 256. The gain is digitally adjusted and can be
changed from the front panel. The user friendly interface is through 7
pushbuttons. 5 of these are used as simple soft keys. The battery life
is long and the electronics uses standard parts for easy maintenance now
and in the future. A scintillation detector can be strapped to the top
of the Rainbow to create a single package for easy carrying, storage or
use. The switches and connectors are all guarded to protect them from
damage. The detector can be either of the two types. The detector can
have its own power supply and preamp, or it can rely on the optional
removable high voltage power supply and preamp inside the Rainbow MCA.
This enhances its versatility and helps to keep the costs down because
it may be used with existing equipment, particularly scintillators that
have been used with count rate meters. The Rainbow MCA is a simple
sturdy instrument that is useable in many diverse areas. Its portability
and compact size is particularly useful in file work and appreciated in
the lab. For most users it is the ideal solution for looking at
radiation spectra. |
