dosimeter are
described below.
2.1 Operating Mode
The DMC 2000S can be used in two different operating modes: the “

The mode selection is normally set at the factory. However, it can be selected by using
the DOSIMASS software and an LDM 2000 reader.

2.1.1. Autonomous mode
This mode allows the DMC 2000S to operate individually or independently, without any
other equipment.
2.1.2. Satellite
mode
This mode allows the DMC 2000S to be used as a part of a dosimetry system, which
includes other equipment and software (LDM 2000, MGPAC, Sentinel etc.).
2.2 Dosimeter function mode
Regardless of its operating mode (“autonomous” or “satellite”), the DMC 2000S
dosimeter is always in one of the following functional modes:
