This menu item enables adaptation of the sensor to the requested ap-
plication.Youcanchoosebetweenthefollowingapplications:"Level",
" Density", " Limit level", " X-ray alarm" or " Real value correction".

With this menu item the natural background radiation can be faded
out.
For this purpose, the MINITRAC 31 measures the natural background
radiationandsetsthepulseratetozero.
Inthefuture,thepulseratefromthisbackgroundradiationwillbe
automatically deducted from the total pulse rate. This means: only
thecomponentofthepulserateoriginatingfromthesourcewillbe
displayed.
The source container must be closed for this setting.
In this menu item you can select the units of the process value and
the temperature.
In this menu item you can enter the measuring range (min. and max.
processvalue)ofthesensor.

In this menu item you can carry out the adjustment of the sensor.
Due to the measuring principle itself, there is no linear relationship
betweenpulserateandlevel.Hence,thisadjustment(i.e.linearisa-
tion)mustinanycasebecarriedout.
