Allow the device to warm up before zeroing and
before performing measurements.
DIADOS E is permanently in the Autostart mode.
This means that a measurement begins, as soon as
a signal is detected.
The START/STOP key can be used to initiate a
measurement manually.
Except for CT applications (dose length product
unit), the detector should always be fully irradiated.
While a measurement is in progress, the current
dose/dose rate is indicated in intervals of 0.5 s. The
ALT key can be pressed to toggle between the dif-
ferent readouts during a measurement.
