Abstract
Bu çalışmada, geliştirilen bir sanal MCA’nın (Çok Kanallı Analizör) performansı bir beta spektrometresinde test edilmiştir. Sanal MCA’dan elde edilen sonuçları karşılaştırmak için spektrometrede gerçek bir MCA da kullanılmıştır. 204Tl radyoaktif kaynağının beta enerji spektrumu gerçek ve sanal MCA’da görüntülenmiştir. Her iki MCA’dan farklı veri toplama süreleri için spektrumlardaki toplam sayımlar belirlenmiştir. Toplam sayımların yanı sıra, sanal MCA’dan elde edilen spektrum şekilleri, beta spektrumunun başlangıç ve bitiş kanal numaraları gerçek MCA’dan elde edilenlerle de karşılaştırılmıştır. Ayrıca, sanal MCA’ya geleneksel olanlardan farklı olarak bir osiloskop özelliği eklenmiştir. Bu özelliği test etmek için bir ana yükselticinin çıkış sinyal şekilleri gerçek bir osiloskopta ve geliştirilen sanal osiloskopta görüntülenmiştir. Hem MCA’lardan hem de osiloskoplardan elde edilen sonuçların birbirleriyle oldukça uyumlu olduğu gözlenmiştir. Sanal osiloskop destekli olarak geliştirilen sanal MCA’nın gerçeği gibi kullanılabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Abstract
In this study, the performance of a developed virtual MCA (Multichannel Analyzer) was tested in a beta spectrometer. A real MCA was also used in the spectrometer to compare the results from the virtual one. The beta energy spectrum of a 204Tl radioactive source was displayed in the real and virtual MCAs. Total counts in the spectra from both MCAs were determined for different data acquisition times. In addition to the total counts, spectrum shapes, starting and ending channel numbers of the beta spectrum from the virtual MCA were also compared with those of the real one. Besides, an oscilloscope feature was brought in to the virtual MCA different from the conventional ones. The output signal shapes of a main amplifier through the detector were displayed in a real oscilloscope and the developed virtual oscilloscope to test this feature. It was noticed that results from both MCAs and oscilloscopes were highly compatible with each other. It is concluded that the developed virtual MCA supported by the virtual oscilloscope could be used like a real one.
