Multi-Channel Analyzers (MCA), PCI-Card based.
PC-compatible, plug-in PCI-bus boards for analog pulse-height sorting and analysis (PHA). Complete with easy-to-use, powerful MCDWIN Multi-Channel Data Windows-based acquisition-display software. PHA mode is used to obtain distribution of incoming analog pulse amplitudes; i.e. number of pulses with specific pulse amplitudes. Alternate MCS mode, available in some models, is used to obtain time bin distribution of incoming pulses on STOP input, relative to a START input signal.

Multi-Channel Analyzers (MCA), multiparameter capable USB Modules.
The MCA-4 Series is a family of high-performance, USB 2.0 PC interface, PC-based multichannel analyzer modules offering a pulse-height analysis (PHA) histogramming mode plus a time-multiscaler mode (MCS) in some models. Require a USB 2.0 port on host PC. All include MPANT Operating Software compatible with Windows OS’s (XP, 7, 8.0, 8.1). Optional multi-parameter correlated acquisitions with coincidence resolving times as low as 8ns, similar to but limited in capabilities in comparison the MPA systems, below.

Multi-Parameter MCA System: MPA-3.
Unique PC-based, multi-input-parameter MCA, histograms data from 1 to 16 correlated or uncorrelated digital inputs simultaneously with time coincidence window capability built-in. For dependent single- and multi-parameter acquisitions, coincidence resolving times can be set from approx. 150 ns to more than 3 ms in steps of 50 ns. Displays selected parameters as multiple 1-D or 2-D plots. Typically uses ADC's or MCS units as digitizing front-ends from experiments. Real time clock option for time stamping of events. Excellent solution for readout of X-Y position-sensitive detectors, X-Y-T detectors, gamma spectroscopy, gamma-gamma coincidence, and other multi-parameter applications.

MPA4 / MPA4T Multiparameter System (4 or 8 channels).
This fourth-generation Multiparameter System, functionally similar to the MPA-3, is designed as an ultra fast list mode system with input ports for 4 or 8 ADCs, multiscalers or time-of-flight devices and has a dual USB 2.0 interface to connect to your PC / notebook.  Improved dependent single- and multiparameter acquisitions coincidence resolving times from approx. 20 ns (in steps of 20ns) to more than 1.3 s compared to the MPA-3. Additionally, eight 100 MHz 32-bit scalers are available as an option.

The MPA4T offers the integration of a high resolution Multistop TOF System with the MPA4 system.  With capabilities similar to the MCS6 Mulitscaler (1 START, 5 STOPS), 100 ps per time bin, multiple-event time digitizer (TDC), it can be used in ultra-fast Multiscaler and TOF systems, in Time-of-Flight mass-spectrometry, time-resolved single ion- or photon counting, and other multi-parameter applications.

Time Multi-Channel Scalers (MCS) and Time-of-Flight (TOF).
These record input event counts versus time, for time-resolved measurements. These are multiscaler type units, capable of accepting another count upon moving to a new counting time bin with low or zero interbin deadtime, thus accommodating high burst count rates and avoiding the "shadowing" effects of slower TAC (time-to amplitude) approaches. Use for TOF mass spec, lidar and other time-resolved photon-counting applications.
