5.3. Long Sample Screen
The Long Sample is intended for fixed-position monitoring of one or more regions of an object
of interest during a Survey. A Long Sample is, at minimum, 30 seconds long. A progress bar
tracks this minimum time then disappears. In this mode, a single spectrum is acquired for
30 seconds or more and is analyzed once per second for identifications and alarms.
During Long Sampling, you can choose to view a histogram if the Spectrum display option has
been enabled (see page 28). This option must be selected before you start the Survey. Figures 36
and 37 show the Long Sample screen with and without the histogram.
