Naming
the
Count
Routine
The name which will appear in the menus for the Count, Data, and Calibration functions
should be defined. This name will identify to the operator the type of samples to be
counted using the defined routine. The name will also appear in the printed report.
Preset
Time
The preset time specifies one of several conditions which can terminate an acquisition.
This field defines the maximum amount of time for sample analysis. For most
applications, this will be the only preset condition that is used. Therefore this time
equates to the amount of time each sample is analyzed. The length of time is usually
selected to meet a desired sensitivity or minimum detectable activity requirement. How
much time is needed should be determined by the worse case efficiency and
background values.
The preset time is set by pressing the
Preset Time
field and entering the time. The
minimum preset time must be greater than 0.01 minute.
