Detector Operation

Finding the right threshold

There are several ways to find the right detector threshold. In general, one aims to minimize the amount of electronic noise while not sacrificing real detector counts. Method 1 Using an oscilloscope Method 2 Using the energy processor

Method 3 One way to accomplish this, and without having to use additional equipment, is a threshold scan using the GUI. Here, the software is automatically setting different threshold levels and measuring the number of counts measured per time interval. Thus, by creating a graph showing count rate versus threshold, one can make an informed decision on how to choose the right threshold level.
