Stability of the performance of a detector is of paramount importance. Most position-sensitive detectors are used in connection with microcomputers, which make calibration and corrections for spatial distortion, non-uniformity of response, and lack of linearity relatively easy, provided that these distortions remain constant. The long-term stability of many detectors, notably of semiconductor devices, is affected by radiation damage produced by prolonged exposure to intense irradiation.
