Specon 2000

Specon is a converting utility between various spectrum files having various binary formats (SPEctrum CONverter).

Many formats of the spectrum are produced by various MCAs and analysis codes such as RUMP and SENRAS. Some of them have not only count data of channels but also experimental conditions or conversion factors which are used for converting channel to some physical values (energy, time and so on).
Specon can automatically identify 14 binary formats and three ascii formats. They can be completely converted to each other including experimental information if possible. Specon is also useful as a spectrum viewer. Viewer has several functions of a simple MCA such as ROI, zoom, background subtraction and comparison of two spectra. Specon can convert the channel from as energy to as time, and vise versa during conversion. It has a pretty periodic table and element data base for user's convenience.
One more important function of Specon is the STAMP function which works only in the case that the destination file format is set to be RUMP or SENRAS format. RUMP is a famous simulation code for RBS (Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry). And SENRAS is one for ERDA (Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis). Spectrum files having these types have many physical data for simulation. When STAMP is turned on, previously set data (for RUMP or SENRAS) are copied with spectral data during conversion.
Specon has also several micellous functions such like copy, move, rename, and delete a file.
