  • Abstract
    A state of the art portable gamma ray spectrometer has been developed commercially. The instrument is available with NaI or hand-held Germanium detectors and can collect and analyze up to 4K channels of PHA or MCS spectra. An integral LCD provides graphic and character readout. Dual microprocessors are operated in a tightly-coupled multi-programming environment providing unique operator interface capability.
