Measuring FWHM

Is it possible to measure the FWHM of different peaks in DTSA-II? Would it be possible to measure the FWHM of the strobe peak?

Thanks

There isn't an automated way to measure the FWHM of peaks in DTSA-II.  The calibration alien will fit spectra to Gaussian peak shapes and modeled backgrounds but it assumes the standard equation for resolution as a function of energy. If the full width of the strobe peak is visible, you can always use the old-school manual method...
