Abstract
A gamma ray spectral tool is provided that can be used in slick line systems. The tool includes a battery, a controller, and a memory. In operation, the tool compresses data from the spectral detector for storage in the memory, allowing for long runs without the memory overflowing. Further, a controller latches the self-adjusting stabilization feature of the spectral detector when gamma ray intensity exceeds a predetermined threshold, preventing erroneous "stabilization" by the stabilization feature of the spectral detector.
