1.4.1. Saving Spectra and Searches
The current Identification Mode spectrum or Search Mode “strip chart” is stored in the unit’s
spectrum memory. If you do not save this spectrum or search, it will be lost when you begin the
next data acquisition.
To save the current gamma-ray spectrum or search strip chart in stored-spectrum memory, tap
the Save button.
The Spectra dialog allows you to select the sample description options, and file formats and
storage location; and view the contents of the stored-spectrum memory. See also Section 5.3.3.
1.4.2. File Formats and Filenaming Conventions
1.4.2.1. Identification Mode Spectra
These can be saved on the ID Mode and (spectrum) Display screens. You can choose to store
them in either the ORTEC
.SPC
file format; in ANSI N42.42 format, which is compatible with
the ANSI N42.42-2006 standard; or both.
The
.SPC
file contains three parameters in addition to the contents specified in the ORTEC
Software File Structure Manual for DOS and Windows Systems (Part No. 753800; hereinafter
called the File Structure Manual):
!
Total neutron counts for each acquisition (zero for Detective-DX/DX-100
®
).
!
The neutron count rate at the time the spectrum file is saved (zero for Detective-
DX/DX-100).
!
A “normal” or “100" entry that indicates whether the spectrum was collected using a
standard Detective-EX/DX or a Detective-EX/DX-100.
The ANSI
.N42
file is formatted for an InstrumentType of RadionuclideIdentifier. It includes
the spectrum, calibration, sample description, and identification results; neutron count rate (if the
unit is so equipped); and GPS location log (if so equipped).
The filename format of the identification spectrum is:
YYYY_MM_DD_hh_mm_sss
