2.5.7 IrDA communication (irdA)
There is an infrared communication (IrDA) port in the instrument.
It is possible to change the configuration of the instrument with
the CSW software and download the histogram from the
instrument to the PC via the communication port.
Activate the menu and scroll it until
- Display changes to irdA.
Press the push button until a long beep is audible.
- The IrDA communication link is activated for 7 seconds or as long as there is
communication with the CSW software.
If the communication with the instrument does not start within 7 seconds, the IrDA link
is deactivated and the instrument returns to the dose rate measurement.
NOTE: When IrDA link is activated no dose rate measurement is done.
2.5.8 Histogram interval (HiSto)*
There is a histogram function in the instrument with a ring memory for 480 dose rate
values. The time interval for logging the dose rate value can be selected (from 10 to
14 400 seconds) using the CSW software. The histogram ring memory operates
according to the FIFO (first in first out) principle. When 480 values have been stored,
the oldest value in the ring memory will be replaced by the newest value. There is a
special ring counter indicating how many times the ring memory has overflown. The
histogram can be downloaded into a PC.
To see the Histogram Interval:
Activate the menu and scroll it until
- The display changes to HiSto.
Press the push button until a long beep is audible.
The current histogram interval (seconds) or diSAbL (when
disabled) will be displayed.
Press the push button shortly to return to the main menu or wait 7 seconds to return to
the dose rate display.
NOTE: When the histogram is enabled using the CSW software, a time stamp (from the
PC) will be stored into the memory of the instrument. The time stamp is used to fix the
time scale of the histogram when downloading the histogram values into the PC. If the
instrument is switched off when the histogram is enabled, the time scale will no longer
be valid as the switch-off time can not be measured.
