Abstract
The High Pressure Gas Scintillation Proportional Counter (HPGSPC), one of the experiments on board of the Italian-Dutch X-Ray Astronomy Satellite SAX, is a large area (450 cm2), xenon filled (5 atm.), high energy resolution (3% at 60 keV) detector sensitive in the energy range from 4 to 120 keV. In the paper we give a general description of the characteristic of the experiment. Some effort is dedicated to illustrate the on board energy correction algorithm required for preserving the potentially good full area energy resolution .
