POINTRAC 31. Software addressing thus has no effect - only the set
hardware address applies.
The software addressing is only effective if address 126 or higher is
adjusted on the instrument with the address selection switches.
If a hardware address was adjusted (< 126), then the instrument
signals that the hardware address is active.
Here you can assign a suitable measurement loop name. Push the
"OK" key to start the processing. With the "+" key you change the sign
and with the "->" key you jump to the next position.
You can enter names with max. 19 characters. The character set
comprises:
•
Capital letters from A … Z
•
Numbers from 0 … 9
•
Special characters + - / _ blanks
In this menu item you can adjust the POINTRAC 31 to the integrated
isotope in the source container.
For this purpose, check which isotope is integrated in the source
container. You can find this information on the type label of the source
container.
Through this selection, the sensitivity of the sensor is adapted
perfectly to the isotope. The normal reduction of the emitter activity is
hence considered through the radioactive decay.
The POINTRAC 31 requires this information of the automatic decay
compensation. This ensures an interference-free measurement over
the complete life time of the gamma emitter - an annual recalibration
is not necessary.
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings with [OK] and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and
the [->] key.
