That's a beta detector, not a spectrum analyzer. There is a reason you have heard of Gamma Spec, and Alpha Spec, and not Beta Spec. Beta decay is variable, with a maximum and an average energy. Where Gamma's decay at the same energy every time. So, you can't Identify the nuclide that decayed by beta.You can hook up a beta detector to an instrument that tells you what energy it is detected at, but it would be mostly useless.
A tray of shields to determine end point energy and the half life is the Fred Flintstone methodology the analyzer was an ELT 1.0.
