Emulation software MAESTRO

multichannel analyzerWindows

MAESTRO is a multichannel analyzer (MCA) “emulation” software package that is compatible with gamma and alpha spectroscopy systems in a wide variety of industrial, teaching, research, and other scientific applications. As with other ORTEC application software, MAESTRO uses the CONNECTIONS software/firmware layer to facilitate instrument control including hardware control functions, data acquisition, and automation for up to 250 detector systems across a local area network. MAESTRO is an excellent choice for basic spectroscopy applications and comes standard with most ORTEC Multi-Channel Analyzers. Display and User-Interface Features MAESTRO provides an intuitive user interface to simplify hardware control and both routine and advanced measurement processes. The most commonly used functions are implemented as "hot keys" or toolbar buttons for rapid access. The spectrum window is often the primary user focus when using MAESTRO and up to eight live detectors and eight saved spectra can be displayed concurrently. Full and expanded views of each spectrum are shown simultaneously. The spectrum expanded view can be zoomed in to examine a specific peak or energy region. Both windows display any marked Regions of Interest (ROIs), and the zoomed region is easily repositioned by simply clicking the new position in the full spectrum display. When viewing a live detector, the spectrum view is updated in real time and provides current spectral data, live peak calculations, and hardware properties — even for remote instruments connected to different computers on the network.
