STX Software is a totally new software package designed to work with the entire product line of STxxx instrumentation. Once this straightforward and intuitive software is learned, operation of all the ST160, ST260, ST360 or ST370 instruments is easy. Designed for both high school and college level nuclear science instruction, the STX Software provides a complete solution for performing many basic nuclear demonstrations and experiments with Spectrum Techniques instrumentation. Experiments such as The Range of Alpha Particles, Absorption of Beta Particles, Inverse Square Law, Half-Life Decay, Detection Efficiency and Counting Statistics, plus many additional laboratory exercises for both introductory and intermediate instruction may be performed with the STX Software and Spectrum Techniques instrumentation.

The STX Software automatically identifies the instruments connected to the USB buss and each instrument is presented in its own, individually controllable, and identified, window.

The STX Software provides keyboard-controllable Presets of Counting Time, Number of Runs, Pause Time between runs and Digitally-Controlled, Variable High Voltage. In addition, an "Experiments" pull down menu allows automatic Plateau generation and Half-Life studies, especially useful with our Isotope Generator. Graphs of the data may be easily generated and presented in independent, resizable windows for clarity and are updated while the instruments are acquiring data. Data may be saved in "TSV" format and simply drag-and-drop into Excel spreadsheets or printed, as desired.
