The MCD 128 Multi-Channel Detector


Multi-channel state of the art detector for upgrading Electron & Ion mass spectrometers

State of the art design
  • Based on parallel detection of particles
  • Using the latest CPLD Technology, and buffer memory for data acquisition.
  • 16 channels, 20 bit depth.
  • Directly addressable to 128 channels.
Principles of Multi-channel detection
The MCD 128 is based on the parallel detection of particles, using a set of anode arrays each connected to a separate preamplifier and squarer. Using the latest CPLD technology, signals are counted and transferred to a buffer memory for data acquisition. The limiting factor in count-rate optimization has traditionally been the development of Micro-channel plate technology. The MCD 128 from Vacuum Systems opens new boundaries.

Software control and data acquisition
The powerful Win95/98 compatible software data acquisition controls of the MCD 128 are designed to integrate with a 16-bit DAC based spectrometer with electrostatic or electromagnetic elements and controls with 16-bit accuracy and monotonicity to 11sb.
