Multichannel scaler/averager (MCS)
What is a multichannel scaler/averager ?
A multichannel scaler/averagerr (MCS) is an instrument used to accumulate or average the number of ions or electrons. It is usually used in some experiments involving the detection of weak ions or electrons. Taking the experiments in our lab as an example, the ions are accelerated and struck on the microchannel plate (MCP), The output of the MCP device is connect to multi-channel calibration averager by using a 50 Ohm coaxial cable with a BNC connector. The ion charge (signal) is amplified by about 4 x 107 times. The resulting current nultiplied by 50 Ohm and converted into voltage. If the voltage is greater than the preset discrimination level (eg -10 mV or -15 mV), it can be counted. The sampling time (for example, 30 seconds) can be set during the experiment, and the total number of ions detected per unit time or the average number of ions can be obtained from the multi-channel calibration averager. Taking the Stanford Research Systems Model SR 430 Multichannel Scaler/Averager as an example, it has the following characteristics:
Singal Input
Discriminator
Trigger Input
Internal Time Bins
Counter/Accumulation
