Software Options
Two different software applications are available to monitor and configure MiniRad-DX
radiation detectors.
4.1 DX-View Software
The DX-View is a PC-based software application used for configuring and monitoring your
MiniRad-DX and Rad-DX radiation detectors. The DX-View software is also used to view and
download data from one or more devices. Using this software, you can set radiation alarm
levels, view a real-time graph, download historical data and more. For more information, please
refer to the DX-View manual at
http://www.dtectsystems.com/downloads.html
.
4.2 DX-Dashboard and DX-Dashboard Setup Tool
The DX-Dashboard is a web server application, which can be used to monitor and control a
Rad-DX network remotely. It runs on either the D-tect Cloud Server or on the DX Network
Assistant (if installed at your facility). Using the DX-Dashboard, you can access your Rad-DX
network using any web-enabled device (smartphones, tablets, PCs). The DX-Dashboard Setup
Tool is needed to initially configure devices in the Rad-DX family to connect to
the
DX
Cloud
Server.

Note:
In order for MiniRad-DX devices to communicate on the DX-Dashboard software, one
Rad-DX device in the network needs to be connected to your network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

Maximizing Battery Life
The MiniRad-DX battery can last up to 130 hours with the mesh radio turned off, the GPS
capability turned off, and displays set to sleep after one minute. Turning up screen brightness,
keeping displays on longer, turning on the mesh radio and turning on GPS will require more
frequent recharging. Monitor the battery icon in the upper left corner of the front display to
determine when it is time to recharge the MiniRad-DX.

Recharging the MiniRad-DX
The MiniRad-DX is recharged through a USB connection. Either a USB port on a PC or a USB
wall charger can be used to recharge the MiniRad-DX.
