The Function keys shown in Figure 13-3 operate as follows:
• F1 [COUNT] Repeats the measurement without saving the background.
• F2 [RANGE] Toggles the display between the spectra of the 1600 keV full scale
range and the 400 keV full scale range.
• F3 [SAVE] Saves both spectra to memory
• F4 [EXIT] Exits background. (Background will not be saved if F3 [SAVE] has
not been pressed)
• PRINT [P] Prints both spectra and prints background counting rate.
For this screen, the Pre-Set Nuclide and USER keys are active. See later sections in this
chapter for the functions of these keys.

Select the area from which this wipe was taken by pressing the appropriate number key. You
may re-measure background at any time by choosing number 1.
The General Category (6) is for wipes that are not from a location entered in Wipe
Descriptions. Therefore,
Figure 13-6 and Figure 13-7 will be skipped.
After selecting an area, either a list of locations for the selected area will appear (
Figure 13-
6
) or, if there are no locations assigned to the selected area, an error message will appear
(
Figure 13-7).
