Overview

The i-Spector Digital is a fully-integrated Gamma Spectrometer. This compact unit is based on a SiPM area (18×18, 24×24 or 30×30 mm2) and hosts a preamplifier stage, an integrated power supply for SiPM biasing with temperature feedback loop, a shaper and a full-featured MCA based on 80 MSps, 12-bit ADC and digital charge integration algorithm. The i-Spector Digital can be controlled through Ethernet and it provides as output an analog amplified signal and a 4k channels energy spectrum calculated onboard.

i-Spector Digital is a solution dedicated to those users that need the versatility of a full compact single photodetection system for spectroscopy applications. Its profile makes it ideal for many portable applications where size, weight and power consumption are important constraints. The embedded MCA can be easily set up and operates with essentially no configuration.

The Web-based interface allows the user to configure and monitor the device, with the possibility to access the spectrum, process it online, perform energy calibration and peaks gaussian fitting. Multiple i-Spector tubes can be connected and controlled from a single PC. The API interface allows to control multiple devices using very simple http requests and JSON vectors.
