+# Mirion Lynx2 HPGe detector
+
+The Lynx HPGe detector is a gamma detector, used on VESUVIO as a gamma detector. It may also be called
+a "digital signal analyzer" or a "multichannel analyzer", and is made by a company called Mirion.
+
+## Manual
+
+A manual for the device is available at:
+```
+\\isis\shares\ISIS_Experiment_Controls\Manuals\lynx2-gamma-detector
+```
+
+## Hardware / Networking
+
+We do **not** talk to this device from IBEX in any way.
+
+The hardware is an ethernet device, which should be set up in DHCP mode to automatically acquire an IP address.
+
+Configuration screens for the hardware are available by visiting its IP address in a web browser. Use:
+
+```
+http://x.x.x.x/mainex.asp
+```
+
+to access the configuration screens, as the _home_ page requires flash player, but the hardware configuration
+screens do not.
+
+If the device is (incorrectly) set to static IP mode, it will likely default to an IP of `10.0.0.3`. If the device has
+forgotten its DHCP setting, then you may need to connect to the device directly (point-to-point) from NDCVESUVIO or
+another computer, with netmask `255.255.255.0`.
+
+The settings *should* look like this:
+

+
+## Software
+
+The device is controlled using a program called "GENIE2K", which runs on **NDC**VESUVIO. This software is licensed to
+a specific computer, so cannot be run on another computer. This software is unrelated to OpenGENIE - it is manufacturer
+software. It does not integrate with IBEX in any way.
