VACTIV: A graphical dialog based program for an automatic processing of line and band spectra

Abstract The program VACTIV–Visual ACTIV–has been developed for an automatic analysis of spectrum-like distributions, in particular gamma-ray spectra or alpha-spectra and is a standard graphical dialog based Windows XX application, driven by a menu, mouse and keyboard. On the one hand, it was a conversion of an existing Fortran program ACTIV [1] to the DELPHI language; on the other hand, it is a transformation of the sequential syntax of Fortran programming to a new object-oriented s... Title of program: VACTIV Catalogue Id: ABAC_v2_0 Nature of problem Program VACTIV is intended for precise analysis of arbitrary spectrum-like distributions, e.g. gamma-ray and X-ray spectra and allows the user to carry out the full cycle of automatic processing of such spectra, i.e. calibration, automatic peak search and estimation of parameters of interest. VACTIV can run on any standard modern laptop.
