3.7.4 Spectrum
Spectrum mode is designed to represent the energy spectrum of photon radiation (X-ray and gamma).
In the Spectrum display mode, the screen represents:
·
status bar - at the top;
·
vertical graphic scale of the count rate - at the left;
·
histogram of the energy spectrum - at the center.
There is a standard information of Display modes on the right side of status bar.
The following information is shown on the left side of status bar:
Linear scale of the amplitude of the energy spectrum of photon radiation.
Logarithmic scale of the amplitude of the energy spectrum of photon radiation.
Time from the beginning of spectrum accumulation: hours, minutes, seconds.
Using buttons
The following quick control options are available in this mode by using the buttons:
·
short press on the swing button "up" switches the scale of the spectrum amplitude between linear and
logarithmic;
·
short press on the swing button "down" cyclically changes the scale of the energy spectrum: 1 MeV ->
2 MeV -> 3 MeV -> 1 MeV ...;
·
long press on the swing button "up" global turns on and off the sound signaling;
·
long press on the swing button "down" clears the spectrum histogram and starts a new accumulation
session.
3.8 Device settings
The device settings are available from the corresponding submenu of the device - "Settings".
(while in one of the Display modes):
·
enter the main menu by long pressing the
round button;
·
set focus on [Settings] item by short pressing
the "up" and "down" swing buttons;
·
confirm your choice by short pressing the
round button.
After entering the "Settings", you can move the focus to the desired item by short pressing the "up"
and "down" swing buttons.
