HEXTE Spectrum

The default state for HEXTE is to be rocking, so when one cluster is looking at background, the other is looking at your source.
  • Shows 16-second binned spectra, one from each HEXTE cluster.
  • Updated every 16 seconds.
  • NOTE: Turn off detector II-3 (under Select), that detector has bad energy binning.
