The all-new fully, quantitative Windows™-based URSA-II software package has been designed for ease of use in a 32-bit Windows™ environment.
Software includes "MCAce-II" software to run the URSA-II using a Pocket PC (Jornada, iPAQ, etc.) running WindowsCE. Can be installed on as many computers as you like, with no restrictions and includes free updates.

Software Includes:
• Full-featured library editor. Standard libraries include all 497 isotopes listed in the "Kocher's Radioactive Decay Tables."
• Multi-channel scaling mode, peak search and identify, quantification based on ROIs or peaks search.
• Dual-channel emulator allows use with gas proportional or phoswich detectors as a "gross alpha/beta" counter-scaler.
• Sophisticated multiple alarm functions are based on the overall count rate, individual ROIs, exceeding a specific rate or an increase in rate over a specific time interval. Alarms can trigger external devices.

• Provisions are included for acquiring and saving spectra repeatedly and continuously while unattended. Spectra can be saved and reloaded to "live" for re-analysis or additional data accumulation, or loaded as a background spectrum. Saved spectra can be superimposed on the "active" spectrum for comparison. Spectrum format is easily accessible by your spreadsheet program. All reports can be previewed, printed, or saved as text or rich text files.
• "ASCII" mode allows control of and data collection from the URSA-II with user's own software or hardware.

Minimum System Requirements:
486 computer running Windows 95® or higher. Connects to controlling computer using a standard RS232 serial port, or USB using RS232-to-USB adapter. Supports both high and normal data rates using USB, although, not all computers may be capable of handling the dataflow.
Specifications:
4096-channels, can also be configured for 256, 512, 1024, or 2048 channels. Internal bias voltage supply provides positive high voltage from 0 to 2000V at up to 0.5mA. Adjustable shaping time, 0.25 to 10 µs. Wide gain range by utilizing coarse and fine gain controls, achieve gain from x1 to x250.
