Stand-alone use of the device
o
dashes every 500keV;
o
arrows - every 1000keV.
Using the buttons
Quick control of the spectrum view is available via the buttons:
o
a short press on the upper swing button switches the spectrum amplitude scale between linear and
logarithmic;
o
a short press on the lower button of the swing cycles the scale of the energy scale 1MeV -> 2MeV ->
3MeV -> 1MeV.... ;
o
long press on the lower button of the swing clears the screen and starts a new session of spectrum
accumulation;
o
long pressing the upper button of the swing turns on and off the sound indication.
3.11.2 Monitor
This mode is intended to represent dose rate or count rate. When the instrument is turned on, it starts
working in this particular display mode. All incoming data are accumulated and analyzed. If a change in
the radiation situation is detected, the instrument starts a new interval of data accumulation. If there are
no signs of changes in the radiation situation, the averaging continues in order to increase the reliability
of the estimation. Statistical error in the Monitor mode is maintained at the level not more than 15% for
the confidence interval 2δ at sufficient radiation intensity.
In the Monitor display mode, the screen shows:
·
status panel - from the top;
·
parameters of dose rate or count rate estimation - at the bottom.
The upper part of the screen, from left to right, contains basic information about the status of the
instrument:
o
current time: hours, minutes;
o
detector temperature;
o
sign of exceeding the thresholds for dose rate, dose rate, count rate;
o
audio indication status;
o
presence of Bluetooth or USB connection;
o
swing button lock sign;
o
battery status.
At the bottom of the screen from left to right:
o
graphical representation of the dose rate or count rate estimate;
o
value of the dose rate or count rate estimate;
o
value of random error in %;
o
dose rate measurement units - Sv/h, R/h, or count rate - CPS, CPM.
With the help of the menu the choice between the measurement units is available:
o
Sv/h or R/h - when displaying dose rate;
o
CPS or CPM - when displaying the count rate.
