[Sneap] NIM module vendors

[James Kaiser]

Michael,
   We pretty much agree with the comments so far from others. We use all 
three brands you mention, although the CAEN modules we use are VME, not 
NIM. Another company we like is Mech-Tronics Nuclear but only for their 
NIM bins and power supplies. We have had good luck upgrading our older 
NIM bins without 6 volt power to bins with 6 volt power by replacing the 
power supply modules with ones from Mech-Tronics. They have been 
reliable and stable and are by far the least expensive power supplies we 
could find. The only Mech-Tronics modules we have are very old and I 
can't really say much about their current offerings except that we have 
never purchased any. We've always opted for the tried-and-true Ortec, 
Phillips and Canberra modules.
