The MXDPP-200™ Digital Pulse Processor (DPP) controls, powers, and monitors various x-ray detectors. The MXDPP-200 includes an integrated multichannel analyzer (MCA), temperature controller, and detector power supply. A high performance x-ray florescence (XRF) workstation can be created by combining a Moxtek XPIN™ detector, Moxtek MAGNUM® x-ray source, computer, and Moxtek XRA software. The MXDPP-200 is a clear alternative to older analog systems which are susceptible to count rate instabilities and require frequent adjustment to the signal processing subsystem. The small package size allows the user design flexibility. Moxtek XRA software provides several options for elemental identification.
