摘要：
A PC-based data acquisition and processing system has been developed for two 3-D position-sensitive CZT gamma ray detectors. For each 3-D CZT detector, an integrated readout chip (VA1) is used to read out the signals from the 11x11 anode pixels. Two independent preamplifiers are used to read out the signals from the cathode and the grid electrodes that are used as trigger signals for low and high energy incident gamma rays, respectively. A PC-based DAQ board samples the amplitudes of the signals from the anode pixels and the cathode. The software collects and processes the energy spectra from the sampling data. The typical equivalent electronic noise of this system is measured to be 6 keV and 7 keV for the two 3-D CZT detectors, and the dynamic range of the system is up to 1 MeV. Spectra from 60, 122 and 662 keV gamma rays have been successfully measured using the two 3-D CZT detectors.
