SITORO™ Accelerated Analysis - Revolutionizing Digital Pulse ProcessingSouthern Innovation’s patented SITORO™ digital pulse processing technology implements advanced non-linear signal processing algorithms to decode pulse pile-up in real-time. By decoding rather than discarding pile-up events, very little data is rejected, resulting in a dramatic increase in measurement efficiency. For more information go to www.southerninnovation.com
