8.9 Low AvWin
This setting allows the user to specify the time in seconds (or window) over which low-
level measurements are averaged in the Current Measurement displayed of the Home
Screen. This capability allows the user to shorten the window so that measurement
response time can be increased. Increased response time is useful for effi ciently locating
specifi c sources of radioactive activity.
Once at this setting, the current averaging window will be displayed in seconds. Press
to change. Choices are 5, 10 and 20 seconds. The factory default is 20 seconds.
