Multi Scaler Timer * [ TYPE : CT 546A ]
Technical Data
Multi-Scaler Timer (AT), type: CT 546A manufactured by NUCLEONIX is an advanced technology based programmable Multi-scaler Timer with Six channels. This is designed around a eight bit microcontroller(s). This electronics is packed in a three bit module. It has an external keypad with command buttons as START, STOP, PROG, INC, DEC, STORE. It has six independent input channels for counting upto six digit capacity in each channel with a preset time selection upto 9999 sec.
This Multi-scaler Timer (AT) an Advanced Technology based unit programmable through external keypad, will serve as a multi-scaler for various Nuclear Counting Applications. This unit can count either positive or negative pulse in the range of 100 mV to 10 V and upto a maximum frequency of 1 MHz. Counts elapsed time etc are displayed on 20X4 LCD dot matrix display module.
Most important features being programmability and selection of data acquisition mode (CPS, CPM or Normal counting for preset time). Built-in parallel port for selective printing of data with Sl.No. serial port facility for PC communication and downloading of stored readings, storage facility for readings upto 1000. Recall facility to display selectively of the stored data readings.
This unit is designed to be an integral part of FOUR / FIVE channel Gamma Ray Spectrometer system useful in geological prospecting for atomic minerals. Also in applications requiring multi scaling / counting / Nuclear counting upto six channels.
