Instrument control
Starting and stopping a measurement
After switching on the instrument by the push button the display will show:
Welcome
Please push
button
or, if the button has been locked by the PC software:
WELCOME
Please
check in
It is possible to start a sample either by PC software or by pressing the push button if the
button is unlocked. Otherwise the sample can be started by software only.
During the measurement, the push button toggles the display pages even if the button is
locked.
The measurement can be stopped either by software or (if the button is unlocked) by
pressing the button for at least five Seconds. If the Myriam is turned on again the data can be
read via the infrared interface. Pressing the button for a second time will start a new sample
and the old data are lost. Therefore, the button should be locked during routinely operation.
The measurement will be cancelled automatically if the battery voltage drops below the
switch off level.
Display of the results
The results are shown on three different display pages which can be toggled by pressing the
push button. The dose values as calculated by the adjusted dose coefficient and breathing
rate for both, alpha and beta radiation are displayed on the first two pages. The second line
shows the value based on the last 1 minute while the third line contains the values based on
the last finished storage interval.
