Frequently Asked Questions

What is pulse counting, and when would I use it instead of current or charge measurement?
Pulse counting registers individual detection events one at a time rather than measuring a continuous signal, which makes it well suited to low-rate or single-particle-event applications where you want to count discrete hits rather than an averaged current.
What detector types work with Pyramid's pulse-counting instruments?
They're built to pair with sodium iodide and lanthanum halide scintillators, as well as photodiodes.
What does "pulse discrimination" mean?
It's the ability to distinguish real detection events from noise or unwanted signals (typically by pulse height or shape) so the counter registers only valid events.
How fast can these instruments count pulses?
Maximum count rate depends on the specific model and your pulse characteristics; check the datasheet for the instrument you're considering or contact us with your expected event rate.
