As shown in Figure 8, the source rod can be placed in the SAFE,
backscatter, or direct transmission positions. When not taking
measurements, keep the source rod in the SAFE position.
When measuring thin layer or other materials through which
you cannot drill a hole, use the backscatter position. In the
direct transmission positions, the source rod extends into a pre-
drilled hole.
