2.7 Quick Start
Menu path: Device Config  Setup  Quick Start.
QuickStart allows you to quickly take the detector in operation,
without having to deal with the complete menu. If you also need a
special feature from the main menu, you can activate it there any
time.
If several detectors are connected in a cascade, then you have to
enable the multi-detector operation first (see chapter 6.1).
IMPORTANT
Changes in the Quick Start menu must finally be activated with
Calibrate + Preset (in Step 3).
2.8 Quick Start, Step 1
Enter the current date and time.
The correct date is important for the automatic decay compensation
of the isotope. Since the activity of the source diminishes with time,
the calibration count rates will be compensated automatically
through the date. The decay compensation takes place daily at
09:01 h
1 Date Current date. The date is specified in the following format:
MM/DD/YYYY.
If the detector detects that the date deviates, a date error is indi-
cated. If Error Handling is set to NORMAL, then the detector con-
tinues to work with the stored date. Otherwise (setting
SENSITIVE) the current output also goes to fault current.
2 Time Current time. The time is specified in the following format:
hh:mm:ss
Differences in time have virtually no effect on the correction of the
decrease in activity. However, the correct time is helpful to check
the detector function: If an error occurs, you can see in the error
log (Device Config  Diagnostic  Log, page 3-387) when
exactly the error occurred.
