Measuring General Sample
To begin the General Measurement, place the sample in the Well Counter and touch the
MEASURE button. The system will begin measuring the sample. As counting progresses,
the live spectra are shown. The Real time, Live time and the counting rate (total cpm) will be
displayed and updated. Also, the MEASURE button will be replaced with a STOP button. At
any time during the measurement, touch the STOP button to stop the measurement. To re-
start the process, touch the MEASURE button.
When the measurement is finished, the selected ROI will be highlighted in red, the total and
ROI counting rates are displayed and the message “FINISHED” will appear on the screen
below the MEASURE button as shown in Figure 10-14 General Measurement Results
Screen.

To see the counts in any channel, use the BLUE ARROW buttons to move the vertical line
cursor to the desired energy channel. DOUBLE ARROW buttons move the cursor
approximately 75 energy channels. SINGLE ARROW buttons move the cursor approximately
7.5 energy channels.
Note: The actual energy channel keV will vary depending upon the Auto Calibration.
When the vertical cursor is moved, the channel energy (keV) and the number of counts in
that energy channel are displayed.
