  • Page 73 Gammapilot FMG50 Commissioning Please note the following if using the linearization module with linearization tables recorded semi-automatically: The module assumes pulse rates are normalized and automatically switches the internal measurement calculation to normalized values if the module is used. This falsifies the assignment between the output value and the measured value.

    The slave mode can be used if the measured raw pulse rate is to be processed by a downstream evaluation unit (e.g. a controller) and not by the Gammapilot FMG50. In this operating mode, the Gammapilot FMG50 transmits the raw pulse rate in cnt/ 125 ms as the primary value.
