I asked Canberra about their spectroscopy software a couple months ago & got 
this answer:

There are currently no 64 byte drivers for the hardware (e.g., DSA-1000, Lynx, 
etc.).   Have to ask Canberra for an ETA on them.  This means that none of the 
Apex products, except perhaps Alpha-beta will work under any 64 byte operating 
system until those drivers are available.  Tennelec/Eclipse should work 
providing you can get a driver for the IEEE4888 card.

My information may be out of date, but I’m sure that Canberra will correct me 
if I’m wrong.

Brad –
Duke is going to Windows 7 in the spring of 2011.  I can’t answer for the 
instrument software, but I can answer for these:
Offsite Dose Projection Program – complete rewrite
Respirator Issue Manager – replaced with a Sentinel module
Effluent Program – complete rewrite
Source inventory – replaced with vendor software

The company is still in the legacy testing phase, but the “train” is bearing 
down quickly.  Good luck.

Fermi 2 will be upgrading in the future to the 64 bit version of Windows 7 with 
the rest of the corporation.  Radiation Protection is currently testing our 
legacy software to see if it works with the 64 bit version.  The upgrade will 
be from the 32 bit version of Windows XP Professional.  One of the issues 
indentified has been with the software used to calibrate Eberline AMS-4's and 
RMS-3's.  Is anyone using the 64 bit version of Windows 7?  If so, what issues 
with RP software have you experienced and how did you work through them?  
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
