sets or displays the current country setting, used for formatting dates and times, and
configuring the keyboard screen. currently, translations of the screens is not available. The
choices are: US, Can, Fra, Ger, Ita, Jpn, Spa, UK
DBGLOG {1/0}
(For a Dose Calibrator Only) Detector Debug Logging On=1, OFF=0. Default to OFF. When On,
every time a reading is reported from a detector, it's raw current value is reported out the serial
port (streaming mode.) This continues until it's turned OFF. If there is more than 1 detector
connected, the detector number is appended on the end of each report.
DCNT
Display the number of active, connected detectors.
DMPSCR #
Dumps the content of the screen in a binary format out to the serial port.
DS {1/0}
(For a Dose Calibrator Only) Turns Data Streaming Mode ON=1, OFF=0. If no parameter is given,
the current data streaming mode is displayed. When on, every time a reading is reported from a
detector, the isotope's symbol, dial values, and activity reading is reported continuously until
turned OFF. If there is more than 1 detector connected, the detector number is appended on the
end of each report. The report starts with a tilda (~) character with the fields separated by a
space. The activity reading always has 3 decimal digits in the report followed by the units. Here is
an example of a report: ~Tc-99m 37.1 1404.767 µCi
DSMODE {#}
(For a Dose Calibrator Only) Configures data streaming mode for all or a specific detector,
where All=0, 1..n is the detector number.
DSTAT {#}
Displays detector status of all or a specific detector. If no parameter is given, it will default to
all detectors, while 1..n is the detector number.
The data returned for a dose calibrator is as follows in this order: Detector ID, High Voltage,
Pressure, Temperature, Argon gas (grams)
The data returned for a Wipe test detector is as follows in this order: Detector ID, Current High Vol
Age, Last Saved High Voltage, Channel # Cs-137 peak was detected at
If there are multiple detectors connected, an additional field is added - the detector number.
Here is an example of the returned data for an Atomlab 500Plus:
8 359.4 260.2 21.3 7.4 1
14 1188.0 1188.0 52 2
