What is the correspondence between the PROS 34-channel spectra and the PI bins?

(2/16/94)

The correspondence between the PROS 34-channel spectra and PI bins is listed below. The PI bins, 256 channels, are ~10 eV wide, with the low energy given by E_low = N_chan * 10.0 eV. The lower level discriminator is set in ADC channel 7, hence the warning.
