Abstract
An adaptive data acquisition circuit () includes an amplifier () for amplifying electrical pulses generated by a detector () responsive to energy incident at the detector. The adaptive data acquisition circuit also includes a counting circuit () for counting amplified electrical pulses generated by the amplifier. In addition, the adaptive data acquisition circuit includes a digital logic circuit () for determining a pulse parameter indicative of a pulse rate and an amount of energy present in the amplified electrical pulses and for generating a control signal () responsive to the pulse parameter for controlling an operating parameter of the data acquisition circuit.
