AlphaVision Alpha Spectrometry Management

ORTEC Alphavision Alpha Spectroscopy Software
AlphaVision provides the capability for controlling the MCB hardware, collecting alpha particle spectra from solid-state detectors, analyzing the results by one of several methods and generating reports. The results and QA data are stored in databases for ease of integration with other software. Extensive menus are provided for performing all acquisition and analysis functions, such as control of acquisition, setting of analysis parameters, calibration, and library editing. Graphical display of individual detector status, along with logical grouping of the detectors in the system, results in an interface that provides the online status of up to 128 alpha detectors. AlphaVision includes features for managing virtually all alpha spectrometry projects, covering each of the necessary steps and providing features that will enhance your results.
