Adjusting threshold #12

Open pedelen opened 6 years ago

pedelen commented 6 years ago

I was getting a single count and then no more counts. I adjusted the RESET_THRESHOLD = 15 and now the detector seems to be giving reasonable count rates. I am assuming that some component in my peak detector circuit is responsible for this anomaly?

Hi,

Your assumption is probably a good one. It might be that your op-amp (LT1807) might have a slightly larger DC offset that is causing this. Glad to see you resolved the issue though.

Thanks,

Spencer
