Scintillation events in its actively collimated CsI(Na) detector were read out every 128 ms in fifteen energy channels between ~25 to ~500 keV. A circulating memory was able to accumulate relatively brief periods of data during the more intense flares with time resolution down to 1 ms. The full width at half maximum of the field of view was approximately 40 degrees. Additional information available at http://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/smm/hxrbs.html [Summary provided by NASA] |
