  • Page 113 (e.g. from nondestructive material testing). Using a frequency filter, the Gammapilot M FMG60 can thus separate the useful signal from interference radiation. In this way, it is possible to continue measuring even if interference radiation occurs, which, in turn, increases the measuring certainty and system availability.
