GammaVision

v7 (A66-BW) 783620H / 1013
! An optional multi-detector interface that allows you to simultaneously start, stop, and monitor up to eight multichannel buffers (MCBs); and view up to eight live spectra and eight buffer windows at a time.
! A manual calibration mode which gives you precise control over the calibration values and fit.
! An enhanced analysis results display, and a revised and expanded histrogram plotting program, GVPlot.
GammaVision combines the latest advances in analytical accuracy with user friendliness and the widest range of tools and corrections available to the spectroscopist. These include true coincidence correction (TCC), absorption correction, a calibration wizard, an enhanced source certificate file editor, and the ability to use nuclide libraries in either GammaVision or NuclideNavigator

) format. In addition, all hardware setup including presets, acquisition settings, and MCB settings, is performed in one dialog.
For the ORTEC DSPEC
®
family of instruments, GammaVision takes full advantage of the hardware’s zero-dead-time (ZDT
3
) method for loss-free counting correction with uncertainty propagation. Our newer MCBs also support a multi-nuclide MDA preset.
Regulatory compliance is easy with GammaVision. The software’s quality assurance (QA) features monitor system performance and store the results in an Access database. All hardware and analysis parameters are saved with the spectral data to ensure traceability.
GammaVision’s extensive menus and toolbar let you operate all aspects of data acquisition and analysis including calibration, library editing, computer-controlled hardware setup, and analysis parameter setup; as well as numerous onscreen data manipulation, comparison, and analysis tools.
Password protection lets you lock Detector controls (Section 5.7.4) and menus (Section 5.7.3)
1.1.1. Automation for High-Throughput Environments
GammaVision has numerous automation features, including powerful automated command sequences or “job streams.” You can even create a desktop icon for a particular data collection and analysis job stream — one double-click that runs the entire procedure. All sample analyses can be controlled from a single screen, even across a network. Remote PC workstations can control, analyze, and view the data being gathered in the counting room.
