Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer 2.0
Natalie Omahony
MC2Analyzer is a software specifically designed to manage CAEN Digital MCAs (780/781/782 families, Hexagon, DT5770, and Gamma stream) as well as CAEN digitizers running DPP-PHA firmware, like 724, 725 and 730 families.
The DPP-PHA firmware implements a digital trapezoidal filter on the input pulse, which replaces the traditional analog chain of shaping amplifier and peak sensing ADC. The MCA is therefore directly connected to the charge sensitive preamplifier, with no need of additional devices. The PHA algorithm is able to perform online baseline restoration, ballistic effect corrections, and to manage the pile-up for the live time information. PHA and time-stamped list acquisition modes are available.
MC2Analyzer software allows the user to program the relevant DPP-PHA parameters, to manage the HV channels configuration (x780, Hexagon and Gamma stream only), to collect the spectra and perform basic mathematical analysis, like energy calibration, peak search, background subtraction, peak fitting, etc.
- The user can download and install DPP-PHA firmware without any license key and use it with time frame limitation: every 30 min the user have to restart (Power off/power on) the board
- To get time-unlimited operating DPP-PHA the user should purchase a License
