This paper considers the structure of the special integrating-mode X-ray de
tectors allowing the division of the range of their working energies into a
few relatively independent sub-ranges. The recording of signals for all su
b-ranges is carried out simultaneously (during one bunch passing in the SR
source) and from the same area of the detector. It is expected that the app
lication of such detectors for the studies of short-time processes will per
mit estimation of the variation of the spectrum of the recorded radiation,
which violently simplifies the interpretation of the results. (C) 2001 Else
