Figure 11: DETECT MODE
For tests involving an un-moderated neutron source, an appropriate PMMA phantom or equivalent
must be placed between the neutron source and the instrument to accurately simulate the moder-
ation effects of field mission environments (which always provide moderation through surrounding
material).
2.7 Easy-Id Mode for Rapid Nuclide Identification
A primary objective of RADEAGLET is to identify the source of radiation. For performing a quick identifi-
cation, RADEAGLET features the so-called
EASY-ID MODE . In this mode, a time preset (as defined in the
SETTINGS menu) is used to acquire a spectrum of the source.
2.7.1 Operation of The Easy-Id Mode
The EASY-ID MODE has a visual guidance that helps the user to establish a distance that is favorable for
an ID (Figure 12 , p. 20 ).
There is a prominent graphic on the screen. The highlighted bar indicates whether your position to the
source is optimal or not: if you are too close to the source, the bar changes to RED. You should go back
to improve the acquisition quality. Similarly, if you are too far away from the source, the bar is near to
the bottom and it changes to ORANGE. In this case, you should move closer to the source for increasing
the quality of the acquisition. If the blue bar is in the middle of the bars, the measurement position is
optimized, which is denoted by a GREEN bar.
