Abstract
A simple low-cost Mossbauer spectrometer based on an electrically programma ble logic device and programmed in the digital design language VHDL is desc ribed. The spectrometer is fast, with a minimum channel dwell time of about 12 mus, set by the speed of transfer of data to the host PC, and has 512 c hannels that can easily be extended if required.
