Abstract:
1. A pulse processing device comprising: a pulse detection unit that outputs a linear pulse signal in response to a physical event; a waveform shaping unit that shapes the linear pulse signal into a linear pulse signal having a smooth slope; a high-speed AD conversion unit that converts the shaped linear pulse signal into digital pulse data; a threshold data setting unit that outputs preset threshold data; a peak value data detection unit that compares the digital pulse data outputted by the high-speed AD conversion unit with the threshold data outputted by the threshold data setting unit, temporarily stores maximum digital pulse data, from among digital pulse data continuously exceeding the threshold data, as peak value data and outputs at least the maximum peak value data when the digital pulse data thereafter become less than the threshold data; a pulse waveform integration analysis unit that calculates an integration value of a pulse by using the digital pulse data from the peak value data detection unit, uses the integrated value to determine whether a preset condition is fulfilled, and controls the peak value data detection unit so as to output peak value data relating to a pulse that fulfills the preset condition and discard other peak value data; and a signal processing unit that inputs the peak value data, which are outputted from the peak value data detection unit; and wherein the pulse waveform integration analysis unit comprises:
