3.10. HISTORY
When the system is operating, certain data are written to its internal, non-volatile RAM.
These data include:
Date and time stamp each time the system is powered up
The background is written each hour of operation, including date and time
Date and time stamp of each radiation alarm, including the detector counts and the background
used in the radiation alarm calculations
These data can be downloaded to a disk file in a PC by clicking on the "History" tab. The
operator will be given the option of downloading all records, or input the number desired. The
system can store up to 3,017 records.
The operator must provide a file name, and optionally, an extension. If no extension is given, the
program will use .LOG.
The data file is in ASCII text format, and will look something like this:
06/09/05 17:20:51 Power-up 0 0 0 0 0
06/09/05 17:21:51 Avg. Bkg. 1710 861 849 0 0

After the download is complete, the operator will be prompted for a file name, and given the
option to view a file at this time.
