VICO-DP
High-Performance Digital Pulse Processor DPP2.
The VICO-DP is optimized for KETEKs CUBE based SDDs to take full advantage of the fast sensors. Extremely short peaking times down to 100 ns can be applied for high throughput at low deadtimes.
FWHM < 125 eV Mn-Ka @ 1 μs peaking time with VITUS CUBE SDD
FWHM < 140 eV Mn-Ka @ 0.1 μs peaking time with VITUS CUBE SDD
- Peak-to-Background Ratio > 20,000 (Def.: Mn-Ka peak to average between 900 eV and 1100 eV)
High count rate capability of up to 1 Mcps in combination with excellent energy resolution
Extremely small dimensions: 46.55 x 31.3 x 11 mm3
High-speed USB 2.0 and RS-232 interfaces
Acquisition software for Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 10 (32 and 64 bit)
DLL for Windows, LabView (32 and 64 bit); LINUX also supported
