2 Description of the Barracuda
Overview of the Barracuda2.1
The main parts of a typical Barracuda system are:
· The cabinet, containing one or more modules
· The Multi-Purpose Detector, called MPD, measuring tube voltage, exposure time,
dose, and dose rate
· A handheld computer with the QABrowser software and/or a PC with the oRTIgo
software
Many different probes and detectors can be used with the Barracuda. These probes
require at least one EMM (electrometer module):
· R100, solid-state dose detector for low dose rate measurements.
· R100B, solid-state dose detector for low or very low dose rate measurements.
· L100B, light detector for test of viewing boxes and monitor screens.
· MAS-1B, MAS-2B, or MAS-3, mAs probes for tube current and charge
measurements.
· DCT10 or DCT16, CT ionization chambers.
· Other ionization chambers with BNT, TNT, or BNC/Banana connectors.
Later in this manual the different probes and detectors are described.
Below a block diagram of a typical Barracuda system is shown.
