CHAPTER 7. ADVANCED FEATURES
7.4 Battery Life
The instrument leaves the shop with adjustments to meet most consumer demands; how-
ever, advanced users may use the Lumic software to adjust the LED and backlight brightness
to maximize battery life. By changing the backlight mode of operation and adjusting the
brightness settings for the backlight and LED to meet user needs, it is possible to reduce
battery current consumption by as much as 50%.
7.5 Real-time Streaming
Lumic Calibration 2.0 software and this instrument have the ability to stream data from the
instrument to a computer. The data can be viewed live inside software or can be recorded in
a file.
Multiple user-selected parameters can be streamed simultaneously including:
• Remote display of the screen
• All unit values
• Device status
• Live HV current measurement
7.6 Button Mapping
By default, the LOG button’s primary purpose is to take a log of the current display or ini-
tiate a count, in COUNT mode, and log the result upon completion assuming data logging
is enabled. Lumic Calibration 2.0 software allows the LOG button to be configured (this is
referred to as button mapping) to perform a number of features. In some cases, the available
features are only useful for a particular function. As a result, the LOG button can be mapped
for RATE/MAX modes and COUNT mode separately.
Using the Lumic Calibration 2.0 software, the user can select among the following features
which can be mapped to the short press, long press, and extra-long press of the LOG button.
• Do Nothing - This button press has no effect. This the default configuration for a long
press and an extra-long press of the LOG button.
• Take Log - Log the current display or initiate a count in COUNT mode and log the
results upon completion (assuming data logging is enabled). This is the default con-
figuration for a short press of the LOG button.
• Change Units - Changes to the next available radiation type. This is similar to a short
press of the

button.
• Toggle Click Audio - Changes the audio level. This is similar to a short press of the
AUDIO button.
