The microprocessor based 4096-channel-memory (single stand by crate) allows the parallel coupling of two Ge(Li)- gammaspectrometers via DMA (4 μs dead time) and a programmed input (ca. 150 μs dead time), the accumulation of 32k counts per channel and the free definition of ROI's. The software organizes the versatile use of low-price periphery (oscilloscope, line printer, key board) and carries out the quantitative evaluation of the spectra. Tlie device has been applied in low- and high-level spectrometry and as a general purpose microprocessor.
