Contains an MCA and plugs directly on to a photo-multiplier tube (PMT)
It is powered through USB and uses and embedded 32-bit ARM M0+ processor and SoC for acquiring histograms, computing count rates and alarms. It can even be a complete portal monitor appliance which alarms on radioactive materials passing by in a vehicle.

It is powered through USB and uses and embedded FPGA plus a 32-bit ARM M0+ processor and SoC for acquiring histograms, computing count rates and alarms, even providing list mode operation and performing pulse shape discrimination. It can even be a complete portal monitor appliance which alarms on radioactive materials passing by in a vehicle.
The SiPM-1000 packs enormous capabilities into a very small form factor.
In its smallest version, it is barely larger than a US Nickel (20mm). Yest it delivers power to an SiPM array, has a gain-stabilized amplifier, uses its embedded 32-bit microcontroller SoC for acquiring histograms, and computes count rates and alarms. This is the Swiss Army Knife equivalent of an MCA. It measures the radioactivity of samples, automatically subtracts the background and reports the accuracy of the measurement. It can raise an alarm if a sample truly is more radio-active than expected. It can act like a portal monitor, where it records passing vehicles or persons and raises an alarm if something unusual is found. Of course, it tracks slowly changing radiation backgrounds to avoid false alarms.
The SiPM-2000 is a single-board MCA that includes a precision SiPM voltage supply.
