5.4.2 Manual Hardware Adjustments

HW Adj/HW Info

This key switches the information displayed in the data window to the
hardware parameters.

When HW A

DJ

/HW I

NFO

is selected from the Presets screen, a set of hardware parameters is listed in the

data window. The F4 function key becomes a D

ATA

key that returns the system to the data mode.

HV Supp

Displays the state of the bias voltage supply – on or off.

BIAS

Current bias voltage setting. This voltage ranges from 200 to 1000 volts.

CG

Amplifier coarse gain. Available values are 1, 2, 4 and 8.

FG

Amplifier fine gain. Range is 1.00 to 2.55 in steps of 0.01.

LLD

Low level discriminator. Range is from 0 to 105 percent of full scale in
steps of approximately 0.4%. For normal work the LLD should be set to
0.8 or 1.2.

ULD

Upper level discriminator. Range is from 0 to 105 percent of full scale in
steps of approximately 0.4%. For normal work the ULD should be set to
105%.

ZERO

ADC zero setting. Range is ±5% of full scale.

XFRM

Conversion mode. The system is optimized for QCC (SQRT) mode. All of
the analyses should be done in this mode. Standard linear mode is pro-
vided for those who desire it.

Under manual MCA mode (the HW A

DJ

mode), it is possible to adjust these hardware parameters. In other

screen modes (HW I

NFO

), they may only be viewed.
