The position sensitive proportional counter used in the Bragg Crystal Spectrometer (BCS) on the Yohkoh spacecraft (formerly known as Solar-A) is described. The BCS provides time resolved spectra of solar flares in soft X-rays (2.4 to 7.0 keV) with improved sensitivity over previous studies. This sealed detector, filled with a Xe-Ar-CO2 gas mixture, uses thin (15 micrometers) anodes, and a backgammon cathode board to provide one dimensional imaging along the dispersion axis of the spectrometer. The performance and calibration procedures for the detectors are discussed, and the use of the calibrations in interpreting BCS data is illustrated.
