Processing Options

• Adjusts alarm level from 0.05 mrem/hr to 1000 mrem/h
1.1.1.1.2. Show Dose Rate by Value or Category
• Dose rate in the upper left hand corner of the display can be shown by
numerical units or by category (very low, low, etc...)
1.1.1.1.3. Dose Rate Units
• Select mrem/h, urem/h, or uSv/h
1.1.1.1.4. Show Detected Peaks
• Displays vertical strobes on the identification histograms showing
which peaks have been detected and considered in the current
identification pass.
1.1.1.1.5. Show Potential Identifications
• Displays on the Identification Display any potentially shielded or
masked isotopes. This is for advanced users.
1.1.1.1.6. Spectrum Plot Scaling

1.1.1.2.
Display
1.1.1.2.1. Keep Awake Time
• Selects how long the rad-ID will sit untouched before the backlight
turns-off. Having the backlight always-on will adversely affect
battery life.
1.1.1.2.2. Display Brightness
• Selects the brightness of the display. The lower the brightness, the
longer the battery life.
1.1.1.3.
Communication
1.1.1.3.1. Communications port
• Activate Bluetooth wireless communication, IRDA (infrared), or turn
all communication off. When the Bluetooth or IRDA are turned-on,
they can synchronize with any computer in range. The Bluetooth or
serial IRDA-equipped PC will need to operate the rad-ID User
software in order to communicate with the rad-ID.
1.1.1.3.2. Upgrade Firmware
• Newer versions of the rad-ID PC software automatically perform this
function. In older versions, it places the rad-ID in a ready state so that
the firmware can be updated by the rad-ID PC Software. Once
activated, the operator is locked-out of the rad-ID until the update is
complete and verified. If this function is activated unintentionally,
just turn the rad-ID off and then on to restore normal operation.
