The Detector is where the data are gathered from the HPGe detector. Data can be displayed and manipulated directly in the Detector memory or in a buffer window. They can be copied from the
Detector to either the buffer or disk. Data can also be copied from disk to the buffer. Copying data will overwrite the existing buffer contents. A warning message is displayed before any data are overwritten and lost. Actions on the data in the buffer have no effect on data acquisition taking place in a Detector — GammaVision maintains separate calibrations and viewing settings for each Detector and buffer window.
GammaVision’s new multi-detector interface now allows you to open up to eight Detector windows and eight buffer windows at a time. If you try to open a ninth window, the program will ask if you wish to close the oldest window. If you answer Yes, the oldest window will close and the new Detector or buffer window will open. To cancel and keep that oldest window open, click No.
In addition, the Acquisition Settings dialog (Acquire/Acquisition Settings...) now gives you the choice of starting all displayed Detectors simultaneously (All MCBs) or one Detector at a time
(Current MCB); or Prompts you to either start all MCBs or start only the current MCB.
3.2. Starting GammaVision
To start GammaVision, enter gamm in the “
search programs and files
” box then click the GammaVision search result; or open the Windows Start menu and click GammaVision, and
GammaVision (Fig. 9). You can also start GammaVision by entering run in the search box and choosing the Run option; or (in XP) by selecting Run from the Start menu. The Run option allows you to start up from the command line, with or without arguments, as described in Section A.1.
If you have not yet entered the Registration Key for your copy of GammaVision, the registration dialog will open, as discussed in Section 2.5. You may either enter the Registration Key (after which the registration dialog will not be displayed again); or, for 60 days after installation, you may bypass registration by clicking on Register Later.
