Scintilla

Scintilla is the desktop application of the I-Spector gamma and neutron spectrometers (MCA and PSD), for Windows 10/11 and Linux. It manages several instruments at once over USB or Ethernet, organised in folders and workspaces, and offers everything the instrument's web interface does: monitor, MCA spectrum in tabs (ROIs, fits, isotope identification, energy calibration, auto-calibration with multiple sources), timed and repeated runs saved on the instrument, waveforms, PSD map, waterfall and temperature stability, alarms, parameter scan jobs, the temperature calibration wizard (also guided, with a climatic chamber), the instrument's storage (saved spectra, configurations, data logger runs, backup and restore), named configurations, light and dark theme and a firmware update wizard. It adds the tools that need a PC: group acquisition and a configuration table for many instruments, and a data logger that records on the PC. Windows installer (signed), deb and rpm packages for Debian, Ubuntu and AlmaLinux (USB udev rule included) and standalone Linux executables (amd64, arm64).
