  • Abstract
    A space flyable multichannel analyzer with 4096 × 16 bit memory has been developed. This paper is concerned primarily with the instrument\´s operational characteristics and unique thick-film construction. Foremost in the analyzer\´s specifications are a 200 milliwatt standby power consumption, typical differential linearity of ±0.2% over 98% of full scale, and physical dimensions of 3.25"H × 8.0"W × 6.75"D.
