MC²Analyzer is a software specifically designed to manage Hexagon, DT5770 and Gamma Stream.
The DPP-PHA firmware implements a digital trapezoidal filter on the input pulse, which replaces the traditional analog chain of shaping amplifier and peak sensing ADC. The MCA is therefore directly connected to the charge sensitive preamplifier, with no need of additional devices. The PHA algorithm is able to perform online baseline restoration, ballistic effect corrections, and to manage the pile-up for the live time information. PHA and time-stamped list acquisition modes are available.

MC²Analyzer software allows the user to program the relevant DPP-PHA parameters, to manage the HV channels configuration to collect the spectra and perform basic mathematical analysis, like energy calibration, peak search, background subtraction, peak fitting, etc.

The software is designed with multi-channel and multi-board capabilities: it can handle several boards and manage the data acquisition from each of them at the same time.
