With regard to an instrument wherein a plurality of phase operations are carried out, the type of failure or the phase in which the failure has occurred is determined and, in accordance with the result of the determination, an alarm signal is generated. Provided that the failure details and the phase in which the failure has occurred can be determined from the generated alarm signal, it is possible, using a configuration wherein an alarm signal having a pulse number corresponding to the phase in which a failure has occurred is generated, or a configuration wherein an alarm signal having a pulse width corresponding to the phase in which a failure has occurred is generated, to determine the type of failure that has occurred and the phase in which the failure has occurred from the pulse number and pulse width.

A method of determining a spectrum of energies of individual quanta of radiation received in a radiation detector is disclosed. Spectrum sensitive statistics are computed from a time series of digital observations from the radiation detector, defining a mapping from a density of amplitudes of the pulses to the spectrum sensitive statistics. The spectrum is determined by estimating the density of amplitudes of the pulses by applying an inversion of the mapping to the spectrum sensitive statistics. The statistics may be based on a first set of nonoverlapping time intervals of constant length L at least as long as a duration of the pulses without regard to entirety of clusters of the pulses; and a second set of nonoverlapping time intervals of constant length L1 less than L also without regard to entirety of clusters of the pulses. A method of estimating count rate is also disclosed.
