After the card has been installed and the detector connected, switch on the
computer and load the ICS 10 program from the disk supplied.
{Drive}:\ICS10.EXE
The program software is not copy protected so at this stage you may wish to
make a backup copy and if available, install it in a working directory on the
hard drive. A PIF file is included if you choose to operate the software as a
DOS application running under WINDOWS. The ICS 10 has been designed for
this purpose and does not generate any interrupts which could interfere with
the operating system.
Also included on the program disk is a demonstration spectrum named
ICSDEMO.SPE and the ISOMATCH library of isotopic gamma emissions.
Use these files to familiarize yourself with the operation of the ICS 10 system
without having to collect data from the scintillation detector.
If your computer system does not have a mouse, it will be necessary to access
the operating buttons and drop down menus from the key board.
For the menubar use the convention ALT_{highlighted letter}.
For the screen buttons press the keyboard letter corresponding to the
underlined character on the button.

OPERATION
Once the program is running it will be necessary to configure the system
parameters for correct operation and calibration.
Place a gamma emitting check source near the detector face. Cs-137 is a good
choice for many applications
Set High Voltage and Amplifier.
Click on the (keyboard h)
Set the amplifier COARSE GAIN to 8, and the FINE GAIN to 1 as a starting
position.
Set the HIGH VOLTAGE to 600 volts and turn on the ON/OFF switch.
Start the data acquisition and adjust the gain and/or high voltage until the 662
keV peak is approximately mid-scale. Do not exceed the maximum high
voltage rating of the detector PMT, usually 1200 volts. Most modern detectors
have sufficient gain for operation below 1000 volts.
Some users prefer to set the 662 keV peak at channel number 662 to produce a
calibration of 1 keV / channel. Because of the non-linear response of NaI(Tl)
detectors, this will produce only an approximate calibration over the entire
energy range. A more accurate calibration will be obtained use the quadratic
function included with the ICS 10 E-CAL routine described later in this
manual
Zero Control.
This control may be accessed through the instrument panel when installed in
the computer and sets the zero intercept of the ADC conversion. The control is
factory set and normally does not require further adjustment. However, when
operating in the Energy Calibrated mode a zero offset may be noticed when the
marker is positioned in the first channel of the spectrum. This offset may be
eliminated by adjusting the ZERO control, but will necessitate a complete
energy recalibration. A small offset of a few keV is inconsequential and should
be ignored.

 Preset Time.

Two preset time modes are available with the ICS 10.

PRESET LIVE TIME provides automatic correction for counting losses

caused by the system deadtime. Events which occur during the pulse
processing cycle are lost to the system so the timer is automatically updated to
compensate for these losses. When operating at excessively high count-rates
the deadtime meter will indicate a high value and the actual counting time may
be more than doubled. Increasing the LLD setting can help reduce some high
deadtime effects and is described later in this manual.

PRESET REAL TIME sets the counting timer to run for actual clocktime and
makes no correction for losses due to deadtime effects.

Both the LIVE TIME and REAL TIME values are record on the ICS 10 screen
Set ADC Conversion Gain. and saved in the file during data storage.

The default setting is 1024 channels ( maximum gain ). This is preferred for
most scintillation detector applications and generally no adjustment is required. Click on (keyboard t)
For certain uses such as alpha spectroscopy, it may be necessary to change this
parameter to either 512 or 256 channels.

CALCULATIONS. (keyboard ALT_c)
The CALCULATIONS menu make it possible to perform many advanced
operations with the ICS 10.
Energy Calibrate.
The energy calibration feature allows the marker to read directly in energy
units. Two calibration functions are possible, a 2-point linear, or a 3-point
quadratic fit. In order to perform an energy calibration, it is first necessary to
acquire a spectrum using known isotopes. Cs-137 together with Co-60 works
well for many applications, producing gamma lines at 32keV, 662keV,
1173keV and 1332.5keV.
First enter the
calibration units to be used.
Position the marker
at the highest channel of the first peak and enter the peak energy value. Move
the marker to the high point on the second peak to be used for the calibration
and repeat the procedure. At this stage, if only a 2-point calibration is to be
used, exit by clicking on the CALIBRATE button. If a 3-point calibration is
required, continue by moving the marker to the peak channel of the third peak,
enter its energy and click on CALIBRATE. The system will now be calibrated
and the marker position will read directly in energy.
To return to the channel mode, restore the menu and click the OFF button.
Page 12
SPECTRUM STRIPPING
The ICS 10 is organized with three computer memory data buffers, plus a
separate computer memory BACKGROUND buffer and the active on-card
data memory.
The on-card memory is used for collecting spectral data from the ADC and
cannot be overwritten by computer data manipulations.
MASTER SPECTRUM BUFFER is used to display data stored in the on-card
memory.
SPECTRUM BUFFERS 2&3 are computer storage areas which may be used
for temporary storage of data during manipulation.
BACKGROUND SPECTRUM BUFFER is a special buffer used for storing
the environmental background of the detector system.
The STRIP function allows data stored in buffers 2&3 to be subtracted from
the master buffer using livetime normalization. For example, if the master
buffer contains data accumulated for 1000 sec. livetime, and buffer 2 contains
data collected for 2000 sec. livetime, 50% of buffer 2 will be subtracted from
the master buffer and the residual spectrum will then be displayed in the master
buffer. The contents of the ADC memory is not changed by this operation
Background Subtract. (keyboard b)
This is a special case of spectrum stripping. The detector background is stored
in the background buffer, usually for a long collection time. When background
subtract is executed, the livetime fraction of the background spectrum is
automatically subtracted from the contents of the master buffer. This provides
a convenient method of removing naturally occurring background from a
sample spectrum and can be very useful when working with low level
environmental samples.
Smooth Data. (keyboard s)
The smoothing function only works on the master buffer and cannot modify
data stored in the on-card memory. When executed, smoothing performs a 3-
point averaging of the data using the algorithm (n-1)+(n)+(n+1).

DISPLAY. (keyboard d) SETTINGS. (keyboard s)

The SETTINGS menu allows access to the ROI color selector and
ISOMATCH peak identifier.

The DISPLAY function provides a means of accessing the various memory
fields as explained previously.
Peak Summary.
If regions of interest have been set around peaks in a spectrum, the PEAK
SUMMARY provides a convenient method of displaying peak information in
tabular form. Readout will be in energy units if the energy calibration is active.
ISOMATCH.
Prior to running ISOMATCH, the ICS 10 must be accurately energy calibrated
otherwise the peak markers will be misaligned.
The ISOMATCH library contains a listing of significant gamma ray emissions
for many common isotopes and may be edited using a text editor.

Select the

 MULTICHANNEL SCALING.
Multichannel Scaling provides a means of recording time correlated data such
as half-life decay or single photon counting. In this mode the ADC is bypassed
and incoming events are routed directly into memory.
The ICS 10 is factory configured to use its internal amplifier and
discriminators to process detector signals prior to routing to the MCS counter.
This scheme presents a convenient method of counting the complete spectrum
or a selected range such as a single photopeak.
First acquire a spectrum of the sample to be counted using the Pulse Height
Analysis mode. While acquiring the spectrum, adjust the LLD and ULD to
select the energy range of interest (For example, selecting only the 662keV
peak from Cs-137 can eliminate unwanted background and produce a superior
decay curve from the Cs-137/Ba-137 generator.)
From the MODE menu select MCS.
Enter the DWELL TIME for each memory location (channel). Remember the
total pass time will be (1024 x dwell time).
Erase any current memory data and click start. The ICS 10 will proceed to
count incoming events for the selected dwell time, store the total in the first
channel location, reset the counter and repeat the cycle storing each total in
sequential channels.
If you wish to use an external pulse generation system such as a coincidence
circuit, it will be necessary to bypass the on-board amplifier and
discriminators. An MCS jumper selector is included on the card and when set
to the EXT position, the input BNC connector is routed directly to the MCS
counter. When operating in this mode, the MCS input requires positive TTL
signals (>2.5v, >150ns duration).

DIP-SWITCHES AND PORT ADDRESSING.
The port address of your ICS 10 card is factory set to HEX 210, (DEC. 528).
This is an address field normally reserved for a XT expansion unit and is
generally available for plug-in cards.
If for any reason the software does not recognize the ICS 10 card or does not
appear to function correctly, it is possible to reconfigure the port address as per
the following table using switches 4 through 10. (A3-A9).
A command line switch must be included for addresses other than HEX 210
MULTI-CARD INSTALLATION.
Up to a maximum of eight ICS 10 cards may be installed and operated with a
single computer providing bus slots are available and sufficient power can be
supplied from the power supply. when installing multiple cards, it is necessary
to assign each card a different address using the card select switches 1 through
3. (A0-A2).
Each card is accessed and controlled using the command line switch c(card #).
Once a card has been started it will continue to acquire data in an autonomous
manner independent of the of the ICS software until a new instruction set is
downloaded to that particular card using the appropriate command line switch.
In this way it is possible to switch between and control multiple cards installed
in a single computer system.
A convenient way of accessing multiple ICS cards is to use WINDOWS to set
up individual DOS icons for each card in the system with the appropriate
command line switch assigned to each icon. It is then possible to open each
ICS card application by clicking on the icons and switching between them
using the WINDOWS Alt+Tab command
The c switch and p switch may be combined in a single command line as
shown in the following example.
