A prototype system was made for a simple analog multi-pulse height analyzer (MCA) using a programmable SoC (Silicon on Chip) that have been designing and studying so far. In addition to basic measurement functions, real-time spectrum display/confirmation during measurement and data recording functions are realized with a minimal component configuration that fits in the palm of your hand. It was also confirmed that the measurement can be controlled remotely. In addition to functional confirmation, basic performance evaluation as MCA will be performed, and further improvement studies will be conducted for future application development.
