EMULATING DETECTOR OUTPUT OF A RADIOACTIVE SAMPLE

摘要

A system and method for emulating detector output corresponding to spectrum data of emission counts and emission energy of a radioactive material detected by a detector. The system includes at least one digital to analog converter (DAC) configured to produce a voltage pulse at a predetermined frequency, and to modulate an amplitude of pulses; a CPU operably connected to the at least one DAC; memory operably connected to the CPU and configured to store data corresponding to the spectrum data; and software executable by the CPU and configured to analyze the spectrum data in order to control the frequency of the pulses and at least one DAC to adjust the amplitude of pulses.
