4.2. Computer The PILATUS3 S 6M-NSRRC detector system comes with a detector server and a PILATUS Processing Unit (PPU). The detector server is a high power server with propriety software to communicate with the detector. The PPU ensures stable and highly reliable high-speed data transfer and may offer additional computing capacities.
4.3. Cooling unit A cooling unit is required for the operation of the PILATUS3 S 6M-NSRRC detector system. The tubes and the detector are equipped with self-sealing valves to avoid dripping when connecting or disconnecting the tubes. There is no fixed limitation on the length of the tubing.
After installation immediately flush the chamber with dry air or pump down the system to keep humidity as low as possible. Technical Specifications and Operating Procedure. PILATUS3 S 6M-NSRRC Detector System. Version: V1.0 20/33...
