MEASARplus for use of an array of CEMs with positive high voltage

 

MEASARplus is a modular electronic instrument to operate systems with multiple channel electron multipliers (CEMs) or photomultipliers (PMTs) and evaluate all output signals simultaneously by pulse counting.

It consists of a mechanical housing in 19"-subrack technology, with a module high voltage generation, pulse counting, current and charge monitoring, and one system controller module with an RS 232-interface, which may easily be translated to USB by means of an external bridging circuit, to connect the system to a host computer. The computer sets the high voltage, discriminator threshold, and measurement time. Measurements can be run by start command or automatically repeated.
