Abstract :
The OSO-H Solar X-Ray instrument monitors x-rays from the sun in the energy range 1 - 300 keV, as well as charged particle background. The electronics provide accurate logarithmic pulse-height analysis at the high counting rates expected under flare conditions. A high time resolution mode enables study of the temporal development of a solar flare.
