The two most common techniques to compensate for dead-time losses are live-time extension and loss-free counting. The latter gives better results than the former in cases where the counting rate changes significantly during the measurement, but calculation of the uncertainty associated with the spectral counts is not clear cut. To overcome this deficiency, the ORTEC DSPEC Plus was developed with an improved zero dead time (ZDT) method for loss-free counting and with the calculation of the variance of the ZDT spectrum. The ZDT correction is dynamically calculated in the DSPEC to produce both the corrected data spectrum and the channel-by-channel uncertainty spectrum.
