2.3.3.6.1 Identification of radionuclides
The device contains a library of 32 radionuclides capacity. The
library can be expanded up to 128 radionuclides via “Spectra
Reader” software in a separate order.
To start the process of identification of radionuclides, go to
"
Start identification
", and the screen below will open (Fig. 9):
Figure 9 – Radionuclides identification process
This screen shows the following data:
At the top of the screen, there is the ambient dose equivalent rate;
time in seconds since the start of identification, and pulse count rate
of gamma radiation. A field below will display radionuclides found.
Below this field, there is a scale displaying the time in seconds
remaining to the automatic stop of the identification process.
At the bottom of the screen, you can find the following items:
•
Expert Mode
switches you to the expert mode
•
Stop ID
forced stop of the identification process.
Warning!
In the process of identification, the necessary field
may temporarily display radionuclides, which in reality are absent in
the ionizing radiation. Reliable information will be displayed after
the period of analysis in 300 seconds and automatic stop of the
identification process.
