DART™
Portable Multichannel Analyzer Hits In Situ Target For portable gamma-spectroscopy applications such as Safeguards or other in
situ situations, the new DART MCA from ORTEC provides laboratory-quality gamma
spectroscopy, with Ge or NaI detectors - in a package with 40% longer battery life and 30%
less weight.
Despite DART's ultra-low power demand, which permits a full 7
hours of Ge detector operation without a battery change, there is never a need to wait for
circuits to stabilize before collecting a spectrum. This is a giant step forward over
conventional products that require long stabilization waits after "waking up"
circuits that have been put to sleep to save power.
At 5.25 pounds, including batteries (which can be "hot
swapped") DART glides along effortlessly in the optional shoulder bag. All needed
communications between PC and DART are via the high-speed parallel port.
A unique "field mode" allows acquisition and storage of ten 8k-
or one-hundred-sixty 0.5k-channel spectra, without even bringing along your PC! |
