EG&G Ortec multichannel analyzer FS

[jmelson]

I have an EG&G 916A-8K multichannel analyzer PC ISA card for sale.  Anybody want it?  Make offer.  I can supply pictures.  I might be able to find the software to run it, but we may have trashed all that some time ago.

Note, this is for a 16-bit ISA slot.

I also have an Ortec Nomad Plus which is a complete spectroscopy system with preamp, HV power supply and MCA.  It connects to a PC through a parallel port.
The battery is kaput on it, it runs off a huge 12 V Gel-cell or wall power.  I do have the manual with this one.

This sounds like an amazing score. Too bad I'm out of funds at the moment, otherwise i would be interested in that MCA if it also has the software.

Good luck!

The ISA-slot analyzer needs software, and the protocol to the unit from the PC is not public, as far as I know.

The portable unit seems to have the protocol in the manual, not sure, but maybe it is just a bidirectional printer port sort of thing.
Anyway, there are sequences of the commands and some sample c programs.

Here are some pics of the two units.
