Braun MCA166-USB Manuale Utente
3.2 SPEC (MS-DOS), WinSPEC (Windows)
These programs are the default programs for measuring spectra. It supports semi-
automated measurements of gamma ray spectra with the MCA166-USB. The spectra are
stored on mass storage media on a PC. There are two variants of WinSPEC. WinSPEC-I
(for Inspectors) was designed for standard use. WinSPEC-A (for Automation) was
designed for unattended measurements. Special features of WinSPEC-A are:

(for Inspectors) was designed for standard use. WinSPEC-A (for Automation) was
designed for unattended measurements. Special features of WinSPEC-A are:
●
Automatic restart of the program after lost of mains power, program or operating
system crash
system crash
●
Sending commands to a special hardware module on LPT1 for monitoring the
”State of health” (already integrated) and other states (not integrated yet)

Writing zip files
●
Data file retrieval to a flashcard
●
Archiving of data files
●
Writing a log file
3.3 MCS (MS-DOS), WinMCS (Windows)
These programs support semiautomated measurements of time distributions with any
radiation detector (HPGe, NaI, CdTe, CdZnTe and neutron counters. There are two
variants of WinMCS. WinMCS-I (for Inspectors) was designed for standard use. WinMCS-
A (for Automation) was designed for unattended measurements. It contains the same
special features like WinSPEC-A (see above).

3.4 U235 (MS-DOS), WinU235 (Windows)
These programs support stabilized U-235 enrichment verification measurements with a
NaI or CdZnTe detector (PMCN, PMCC). The algorithm bases on absolute intensity
measurement of the 186 keV photon energy. It also needs a two point intensity calibration
with two standards.

Reevaluation/recalibration using previously recorded spectra is possible. Verification results are
documented in a report file, which is automatically saved with the extension *.rep.

3.5 UF6 (MS-DOS), WinUF6
Similar to U235 or WinU235, but optimized for HPGe detectors. Only one intensity
calibration measurement is necessary.

3.6 LENG
This program supports semiautomated active length measurement (HM-4) using a
miniature NaI or CdZnTe detector.
