Data acquisition and analysis software for multi-detector gamma spectroscopy. Developed at NIST. No warranty and no endorsement of specific product. Please read license and disclaimer.
Features:
- modular multithreaded architecture with multiple data sources and data sinks
- simultaneous building of multiple spectra (real-time sorting)
- coincidence matrices with symmetrization, projections, 2D peak search
- list mode output
- loss-free counting spectra
- energy, FWHM and efficiency calibration tools
- basic isotope database
- SUM4 peak integration with uncertainties
- Multiplet deconvolution using Hypermet
- gain matching (iterative online, and post-acquisition)
- automatic digitizer setting optimization to minimize FWHM
Supports:
- Linux and Mac
- XIA Pixie-4
- Radiation Technologies HV-8
- Wiener VmUsb
- Iseg VHS-12
Reads:
- Canberra cnf, mca, tka, ava
- Radware spn, spe, mat, m4b
- N42 (ANSI N42.42-2006)
- Gammavision spe
- NSCLdaq evt
To install, you need:
- boost
- Qt 5
- libnlopt-dev
- libusb-dev (VmUsb suuport)
- If using Pixie-4, make sure PLX driver is working (driver and installation script included, see /hardware/pixie4/PLX/README)
- utter the following incantations:
- to compile './install.sh' will also put sample data files in ~/qpx/
- to run './qpx'
- to make global, follow it up with 'sudo make install'
