I have mentioned this previously but it seems appropriate to do so again now:
A precision pulser such as an Ortec 419 allows the user to dial up a test pulse
of Any equivalent energy, once it has been calibrated to ONE known real energy peak.
It can do this because the output voltage pulse height is based on a stable reference (0.005%/C) and
is settable via a very linear (0.1%), 10 turn, wire wound potentiometer.

As long as the calibration is linear, any escape peak from Silicon will be 1.75 keV below a MAJOR peak. The height of that escape peak will be very small compared to the major peak that caused it. Look at th scan from this perspective: picture
