Upgrading from Version 5.3
 

The major enhancements brought to GammaVision-32 V5.3 are:

  • New ROI-32 Analysis Engine
    For the user who needs to mark specific Regions-of-Interest for nuclides within their library, we now have an analysis engine designed to do just that. Designed for the highly technically qualified user, this engine should be used with caution. The user manual gives specific cautions and guidelines for using this engine. For those that do choose the ROI-32 engine, they can analyze Live spectra or Archived spectra.
  • Improvement to the Total Uncertainty Calculation
    Previous versions of GammaVision included options for calculating Total Uncertainty (TPU). However, the user was limited on the type of distribution he could apply to the specific uncertainty terms. With the latest version of GammaVision-32, the user can define their uncertainty terms, and decide how to propagate the terms. The user has the option of treating their additional uncertainty as a uniform (rectangular distribution), or a normal distribution. The software will apply the correct mathematical propagation of the Total Uncertainty.
  • Two New “Hot Buttons” Added to the Toolbar
    The Sample Type Settings button will immediately open the dialog that controls the current analysis settings for the detector or buffer selected. This duplicates the Analyze/Settings/Sample type (three mouse clicks) operation on the main tool bar.
    The Analyze Spectrum button will immediately analyze the spectrum selected. This duplicates the Analyze/Entire Spectrum in Memory (two mouse clicks) operation on the main tool bar.
  • Create PBC Function Added to Peak Background Correction Menu
    This allows the user to more quickly create and save a background file. In older versions of GammaVision, this function required multiple steps and was prone to user error. Now, the user utilizes the Browse and Save functions to easily associate the Background spectra to a file.
  • Enhanced User Manual
    Table to assist user in selection of the proper Analysis Engine
    Clearly defined explanations of the MDA options
    Thorough explanation of the various ZDT modes
    Detailed explanation of the QA parameters that are monitored
  • A New Multi-Detector Interface
    With the new GammaVision, your entire laboratory can be visible within the GammaVision program interface. The new Mutiple Detector Interface in GammaVision  allows viewing up to 8 Detector and 8 Buffer windows simultaneously for a total of 16 interactive windows. Controlling multiple detectors, visually comparing spectra, and viewing multiple MCB properties is now easier than ever!
  • Simple Simultaneous Acquisition Control
    The new interface not only allows viewing and comparing of spectrum windows, but also for maximizing sample throughput in your lab. You can begin acquisitions of multiple samples or select one detector at a time. Synchronizing data acquisition on multiple detectors simultaneously is now a snap! Acquisition options allow for automatic acquisition for a group or single detector. The analyst can be prompted for acquisition options when acquisition is stopped and started, or the preferred option can be predefined. The new features are sure to improve the performance of your lab…..and FAST!
  • Display Analysis Results
    Spectral displays are now more powerful than ever with peak nuclide identification, absolute and relative residuals, and a variety of flexible display properties for every aspect of the spectrum display. It has never been easier and faster to identify a full-energy peak than with the new Analysis Results Display!
  • The New Winplots
    The new GammaVision improves not only your ability to quickly and easily identify and highlight energy peaks on screen, but also to create quickly a precise spectral report for the region of the spectrum that you need…and that is just the beginning with the new Winplots! Notable feature enhancements to the Winplots spectral reporting tool include: fill properties for identified, unidentified, multiplet, and composite peaks; spectrum display in points, line, or filled formats; peak information pop-ups; and manual or automatic scaling of all axes. These features are available within GammaVision and WinPlots.
    These new features allow you to define precisely the region of the spectrum that you require — easily and quickly!
  • Interactive Manual Calibration
    When the time comes to import a spectrum for another format or you need to fine tune the energy calibration of your spectrum, you need to get it done without delay. The newly enhanced calibration features in GammaVision include a Manual Energy Calibration dialog that offers greater flexibility in fine tuning calibrations and ensuring compatibility with other spectrum formats. The Channel and FWHM associated with each energy peak can now be manually defined to match data pairs from other system spectra and precisely duplicate their calibrations. Calibrations performed using the interactive and automatic methods offered in earlier versions of GammaVision can also be adjusted easily to meet specific needs.
  • Fully-Embedded DataMaster Option
    When you need to analyze spectra from various data formats, you need to do quickly and easily — with as few steps as possible. The new GammaVision includes an option for a fully-embedded application that makes reading and writing in numerous spectral formats a snap!
    DataMaster is a powerful spectrum conversion utility that is supported as an Add-In for GammaVision. This program allows superior flexibility in converting between a wide variety of spectrum formats for use in GammaVision and other software products. Switching between different formats is now as simple as opening or saving a file!
