X-ray Source Electronics Set XREC20
XREC20 electronics set dedicated for controlling SAX X-ray sources.
Manufacturer
Prevac
Prevac are a world leader in the design and production of analytical and deposit scientific and research equipment. Their systems operate in a high and ultra high vacuum environment. They design and construct UHV and HV systems fully adapted to the individual requirements of research projects and industrial applications.

Description
The XREC20 set comprises 2 units for full control of the SAX X-ray Sources: XREC20-I emission controller and XRHV02-PS high voltage power supply.
The XREC20-I unit controls the emission current of the X-ray source and also the XRHV02-PS high voltage power supply, displaying both the high voltage and emission current on a single display. Unit allows measurement of working time and anode power. The X-ray source electronics set has both operational and standby modes, guaranteeing the most accurate and stable emission at the start of an experiment. Easy firmware update via USB port (XREC20-I). Unit can be remotely controlled via RS232/485 or Ethernet interfaces. Autosave function (XREC20-I unit) for saving your parameters/unit pre-set and applying them automatically after restart.
