Description

mca1.ERTM

mca

MCA_ELAPSED_REAL

The elapsed real time in seconds.

mca1.ELTM

mca

MCA_ELAPSED_LIVE

The elapsed “slow” live time in seconds. This is defined as (RealTime * OutputCounts / InputCounts). It is effectively the live time of the slow filter.

FastLiveTime

ai

KetekFastLiveTime

The elapsed “fast” live time. This is reported by the DPP3 system, and is defined as “the time in seconds in which the pulse detection was active during the spectrum run (pulse detection filter below trigger threshold and no reset detected)”. It is effectively the live time of the fast filter.

InputCountRate

ai

KetekInputCountRate

The input count rate in Hz.

OutputCountRate

ai

KetekOutputCountRate

The output count rate in Hz.

InputCounts

longin

KetekInputCounts

The number of fast events received.

OutputCounts

longin

KetekOutputCounts

The number of counts in the MCA spectrum.

BoardTemperature

ai

KetekBoardTemperature

The temperature of the DPP3 board.

MCUReady

bi

KetekMCUReady

The status of the MCU, “Ready” or “Not ready. It will be “Not ready” for up to 1 minute after a powering on.
