This module allows to obtain the full handling of the detector signal, giving the total energy, amplitude of the fast component and the time information. The analysis of the two dimensional spectrum (fast versus total) allows an excellent gamma-neutron separation for liquid scintillators or CLYC detectors, gamma-charged particle separation for BaF2 detectors, and to disentangle the gamma interaction in the different parts of a Phoswich detector. For scintillator detectors with a single light component, the fast output can be used as a second total energy output, meeting the requirements of dual energy range experimental setups, avoiding the split of the signal on two shaping amplifiers.
