  • Other
 SHP module has two operating modes:
  • Constant parameter measurement. In this mode ADC of SHP module is constantly monitoring parameters listed above.
  • Parameter measurement per request. In this mode ADC of SHP module is in standby mode while user is not monitoring parameters listed above.

DESCRIPTION

State of Health Preamplifier (SHP) is a low noise and fast resistive-feedback preliminary amplifier intended for operation within gamma- and X-ray Detection Unit based on HPGe detector.

SHP module allows to perform monitoring of detection unit basic parameters in real-time mode or per request of the operator. Analysis of the performance in the long run allows to predict possible failure of the detector and to perform timely preventive maintenance.

SHP module is specially designed to operate together with BSI HPGe detectors via USB interface. Adjustment of SHP parameters is performed through the software package developed specially for preventive maintenance and service activities.
