CHAPTER THREE:
GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR
ATOMLAB 100 DOSE CALIBRATOR
OVERVIEW
This chapter provides a quick introduction to your Atomlab
Dose Calibrator. It will familiarize you with the basic opera-
tion of making an Activity Measurement so that the instruc-
tions provided in the rest of the manual will make more
sense. This chapter will be especially valuable to those of
you who are already familiar with dose calibrator operation. A
detailed description of the Display and Detector Units is pro-
vided in Chapter 4, and of operation procedures in Chapter
5. Also consult the Appendices for further information.
METHODOLOGY
An understanding of the following key functions, and a
knowledge of the Atomlab Display Unit, will facilitate your
use of the Atomlab Dose Calibrator.
Whenever you initiate a mode, such as Setup, the Atomlab
Dose Calibrator will guide you by causing the LED's to flash
on the keys you need to press.
When the manual specifies that a LED comes ON, it always
means steadily, even if it was previously flashing. In some
instances, pressing a key will cause a flashing LED to turn
OFF or come ON steadily.
Refer to the Front Panel Display illustrated in Figure 3-1. On
the Atomlab 100, the unlabeled key to the right of the
āā
on
the Electronic Thumbwheel is referred to as the ENTER key.
The 4-digit display associated with the Electronic
Thumbwheel is referred to as the Electronic Thumbwheel
Display. See Chapter 4 for details.
