GS-PRO-V5 USB Gamma Spectrometer
The new GS-PRO-V5 is the latest Gammaspectacular, it's improved design draws on all the experience and feedback received from over 2000 customers. The GS-PRO-5 comes in a high quality machined aluminum enclosure and is significantly smaller measuring only 100 x 100 x 35 mm. There have been several improvements to the circuit, but the overall functionality remains the same.
The GS-PRO-V5 runs on free software and simply connects it to any PC or Mac* USB port and works with any brand of PMT based scintillation detector for spectrometry or any Geiger counter for simple counting experiments.
FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
Inbuilt Audio Codec (ADC)
Built in audio codec (ADC), eliminating the need for external audio connection to the PC sound card, this enhancement has significantly improved the signal to noise ratio and ease of use.
2000V Bias SHV Connector
SHV connector for the high voltage bias and BNC connector for the optional signal input, making it compatible with most brands of detectors.
Adjustable Volume and Pulse Shape
Control over preamplifier pulse gain and shape via separate trimmer potentiometers accessible without opening the enclosure, very convenient for optimization of the dynamic range.
Compact Enclosure
New custom designed enclosure allowing for future upgrades and modifications.
Multifunction Audio Jack
The multi function audio jack can be assigned as an input or an output making it easy to connect analogue measuring instruments.
The audio jack right channel functions as an input, making it possible to connect two units together with a stereo crossover cable for coincidence counting.
USB Type-C Connector
The GS-PRO-V is the first model to come with USB type-C connector. (Note the protocol remains USB 2.0)

IRAD INC advises ordering appropriate SHV and/or BNC cable(s) for use with your detector.
For detectors with a single connector, the GS-USB-PRO uses the SHV connector for combined HV and signal. For detectors with dual connectors (separate HV and Signal), the GS-USB-PRO has SHV connector for HV out and BNC connector for signal in.
