NScan

Device type: Neutron Counter with Motor Control Unit

NScan is a computer controlled device that can measure signals from counter detectors (neutron counter, Geiger-Müller counter tube, etc.). The NScan has a motor control unit, which can be used to control the motion of the detector. A main application of NScan is automated verification measurements on deposits of nuclear waste. The communication and power supply is via the USB port of the computer.
