This will send the oscilloscope into a special bootloading mode:Ĥ. Press the “-” button on the DSO201, and while pressing the “-” button, turn on the DSO201. Connect the DSO201 oscilloscope to your Windows PC via the USB cable that comes included with the DSO201.ģ. Download the zipped file for the latest GammaGrapher V2 release from. Otherwise, you may need to add a simple RC low-pass filter to stretch the PMT pulses to be at least 6 microseconds wide.ġ. If you built the probe exactly as shown in the book’s Figure 30, then the pulse width should be around 12 microseconds. Power the probe (+1,250V) and tune the probe’s gain so that it produces negative-going pulses with a maximum amplitude of around 3V. Place a Cs-137 check source close to the crystal.
You may want to build a dedicated MCX-to-BNC cable to make this connection more suitable for field use.Ĭonnect your PMT/NaI(Tl) scintillation probe to the oscilloscope. This is easy! Simply connect the oscilloscope probe that came with the DSO201 to the PMT probe’s output.

The source and binaries for GammaGrapher v2.0 are available for free download in a zip file at Ĭonnecting the DSO201 MCA to the PMT Probe The GammaGrapher V2 project is an open-source effort to convert a Sain Smart DSO201 Nano oscilloscope into a multichannel analyzer for gamma spectrometry.
#Sainsmart oscilloscope software manual#
The manual for the DSO201 is available at: DS0201_nano_Manual In the US, Sain Smart sells through Amazon (mine came in just one day although I chose free shipping!) The Sain Smart DS0201 is a pocket-size digital storage oscilloscope based on an ARMCortex™-M3 compatible 32-bit platform, equipped with a 320×240 color display, SD card capability, USB connection, and USB-rechargeable batteries that provide over 2 hours of operation. The setup makes for a great general-purpose radiation spectrometer for the identification of gamma-emmiting isotopes. This is a very easy and inexpensive way to conduct the single-photon detection experiments of the book’s Chapter 2, as well as the Compton Scattering experiment in Chapter 5. The upload of the MCA software to the oscilloscope is really easy (via USB), and it allows the PMT probe shown in the book’s Figure 30 to be connected directly to the oscilloscope’s input with no need for a PMT amplifier! The nice guys at the Yahoo GammaSpectrometry Group developed multichannel analyzer software for the $79 SainSmart DSO201 Pocket-Sized Digital Oscilloscope. Connects directly to PMT probe shown in the book’s Figure 30 with no need for PMT amplifier!
