The scheme to the right shows a typical XRF measuring setup with DPP data acquisition. The analog signal of the XRF detector from a measuring environment is fed into the DPP which processes the signals and generates the digital spectrum on a control PC. By synchronizing the measurement environment (SEM or XRF system) with the DPP via a trigger signal, advanced acquisition modes such as mapping mode or triggered LIST mode can be easily implemented.

• Excellent energy resolution and peak stability combined with high count rate capability of up to 2 Mcps.

• Communication with the control PC via Ethernt or USB.

• Data acquisition can be controlled/synchronized via an external trigger signal (TTL).

• Coming soon: 4-Channel DPP

• PND GUI delivered with DPP 110 for easy use in a wide application range. Settings and results are plotted and visualized.

• Application Programming Interface (API) for easy implementing in specific user software.

• Operation possible in four different modes:
  
  Single Spectrum - for recording full single spectra.
  
  Mapping Mode - for recording multiple spectra in a timely sequence without dead time between the spectra with single spectra acquisition times down to 1 ms.
  
  Fast LIST Mode - provides a time stamp for each energy event, with a time resolution of 12.5 ns.
  
  LIST-Map Mode - each single event is listed with energy value and mapping point ID down to 1 ms/point without dead time.

• Further software package to support qualitative and quantitative EDX analytics.
