Software for ESP-2? Anyone?
I’m not sure it exists in the wild any more, but before I post to nukeworker forums and contact Thermo, I was wondering if anyone has software for this lovely piece of equipment that I picked up for $100. It’s pretty rare to get one with built in pulse height analyzer, making this an amazing deal. It works perfectly.
It’s actually better than the E600 in a lot of ways! No need for a computer to set HV, dead time, calibration constant, scaler settings, analyzer settings, 3 probe memories, extremely high range, speaker doesn’t max out at 20,000 CPM like the E600 and sounds like a regular counter.
I would not hesitate to use this professionally after a calibration, which is essentially just putting it on a pulse generator, making sure HV display is within a few percent of actual voltage, and trying the analyzer with 3 different isotopes: Am241 (for its 60keV gamma photon rather than the alpha), Cs137, and Co60.
If anyone has or knows where I can get the software, I’d very much appreciate it. I don’t know which functions are offered in the software suite… This is the first time I’ve ever seen a post Thermo merger model that doesn’t have the PHA/SCA board ripped out or disconnected. AND the side panel which ALWAYS falls off is firmly attached and works well!
