A method of performing linearity tests on a dose calibrator
by measuring the initial activity of a source, accurately cal-
culating its decayed activity at prescribed time intervals, and
making activity measurements at those time intervals.
Comparison of the calculated and actual activity values con-
stitutes the test of linearity.
Refers to using sources for calibrating a dose calibrator
whose activities can be traced to the National Institute of
Standards & Technology.
Compensating for electronic drifts in the input and output of
the electrometer of a dose calibrator so that they do not
affect the accuracy of the displayed activity. The Atomlab's
electrometer does this automatically by constantly subtract-
ing the first of two successive activity measurements from
the second, so that any offset is compensated for.
