meet the requirements of Local, National or International Standards as required. 
The version of the dosemeter referred to in this manual provides Dual Channel 
measurements. Channel 2 is preset to a 3dB ISO configuration and cannot be altered 
by the user. 
The following parameters can be configured for Channel 1 as required.
