I have a set of repetitive radiation-based experiments that will take place over several hours. I need to acquire spectra every so often over this time period. The normal software used with Ortec MCAs is MAESTRO but this would require me to start stop and save every run. Is there a way to acquire results from the MCA using something such as python. I cannot find any documentation online about how to even begin reading results from the device. Any other way to automate the process would be great.
