USB Cable
The Detective X is supplied with a 3-m (~10-ft) USB cable for connecting the unit to a PC running Microsoft
Windows 7, 8.X, or 10; or Linux (see Figure 5 or Figure 6). When the cable is used to connect the Detective X
to a PC, the Detective X appears as a USB flash drive in the PC’s folder structure, so files can be easily
transferred with no special software. As is good practice with any flash drive to prevent data corruption, it is
recommended to eject the Detective X prior to removing the cable, either with the “Eject” command in
Windows File Explorer or the “Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media” option.
1.6.5
USB Flash Drive and MicroSD Card
The Detective X can store survey data on the rear-panel USB flash drive (see Figure 5 or Figure 6) that makes
file transfer to other devices fast and easy. To access the data, either insert the USB flash drive directly into
a computer or extract its microSD card (Figure 18) and insert it into a microSD card reader.
Be sure to replace
the microSD card before re-mounting the flash drive on the Detective X rear panel.
Be careful to orient the
card correctly, then seat it gently but firmly.

Note that the software can also be configured to save survey data to the internal “My Documents” folder on
the embedded computer (see Section 4.4.2).
1.6.6
Detector Cover, Optional Collimators, Filter, and Neutron Detector
The detector cover is a molded, low-density plastic cover that protects the detector endcap from impacts
and moisture ingress when it is not protected by a collimator or neutron detector. The cover is held in place
with magnets for easy switch-out with collimators or a neutron detector. Simply pull the cover forward and
away from the endcap to remove.
The optional collimators, filter, and neutron detector replace the detector cover and protect the detector
endcap from damage. Each of these devices mates to the Detective X via the connector shown in Figure 19.
The Detective X software reads the connector to recognize which type of device is mounted, records that
information in the N42.42 files, and uses the corresponding ambient background file for that device. For more
discussion, see Sections 2.6, 2.7, and 4. Note that the N42.42 file is a data file automatically generated by the
system utilizing the ANSI N42.42 format.
