Scale/Cursor Mode
At any time when viewing the Wipe Screen, the system is either in Scale Mode or Cursor
Mode. The S key toggles between these two modes.
The default is Cursor Mode. This means the number to the right of the F4 key determines
how many channels the cursor will jump with each press of the ARROW keys.
In Scale Mode, the ARROW keys increase or decrease the vertical scale. This feature is
useful to magnify an area of the display. The vertical scale will not display less than 100
counts full scale.
To identify if the mode is Scale or Cursor, the word “SCALE” appears on the left of the
screen
only when in Scale Mode.
Note: The PRINT [P] key is only active in Cursor Mode.
Activity of a Nuclide
The activity in a Region of Interest corresponding to a given nuclide can be obtained by
pressing one of the Pre-Set Nuclide keys (Cr51, Co57, Ga67, Tc99m, In111, I131, I123,
I125, Tl201), a USER key which has had a nuclide assigned to it or the NUCL key. After the
NUCL key is pressed, input the name of the nuclide and press ENTER.
The activity is displayed on the top line.
If no Conversion Factor has been entered for that nuclide, the counting rate cpm (or cps) is
displayed.
If there is a Conversion Factor, dpm or nCi (or Bq) is displayed. If the activity is greater than
the trigger level, “HIGH” is displayed. (except in General Wipe, which has no Trigger Level).
Activity for Generic Conversion Factor
The activity of the entire spectrum calculated using the Generic Conversion Factor for the
chosen range (400 keV or 1600 keV) can be obtained by pressing the CF key.
The activity is displayed on the top line in dpm.
WIPE REPORT
A sample Wipe Report Printout is shown in Figure 13-11. To print out all wipe results in
memory for a particular area, press the PRINT [P] key in the screen of
Figure 13-6.
