Abstract

This paper describes an on-site developed interface amplifier and timing generator unit for the control of operation of an X-ray spectrometer, aimed at obtaining off-line time-resolved pulse height analysis spectra, using at single channel of a digital transient recorder and a histogram algorithm. This unit, implemented in a low noise NIM module to be inserted between the amplifier and the transient recorder, generates a trigger pulse and time information for the digitizer, conditions the amplifier output signals to the digitizer input characteristics, reports the occurrence of pile-ups and prevents collisions between time and event pulses. Tests and operation on the TCV X-ray spectrometer have shown that the unit fulfils the design requirements. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

X-ray fluorescence

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is the emission of characteristic "secondary" (or fluorescent) X-rays from a material that has been excited by being bombarded with high-energy X-rays or gamma rays. The phenomenon is widely used for elemental analysis and chemical analysis, particularly in the investigation of metals, glass, ceramics and building materials, and for research in geochemistry, forensic science, archaeology and art objects such as paintings.

Requirement

In product development and process optimization, a requirement is a singular documented physical or functional need that a particular design, product or process aims to satisfy. It is commonly used in a formal sense in engineering design, including for example in systems engineering, software engineering, or enterprise engineering. It is a broad concept that could speak to any necessary (or sometimes desired) function, attribute, capability, characteristic, or quality of a system for it to have value and utility to a customer, organization, internal user, or other stakeholder.

Requirements analysis

In systems engineering and software engineering, requirements analysis focuses on the tasks that determine the needs or conditions to meet the new or altered product or project, taking account of the possibly conflicting requirements of the various stakeholders, analyzing, documenting, validating and managing software or system requirements. Requirements analysis is critical to the success or failure of a systems or software project.cite book |editor1= Alain Abran |editor2=James W.
