    Gammapilot M FMG60 with PROFIBUS PA Technical data Technical data 10.1 Technical data at a glance 10.1.1 Input Measured variable The Gammapilot M measures the pulse rate (number of counts per second). This rate is proportional to the intensity of radiation at the detector. From this rate, the Gammapilot M calculates the desired measured value: •...

  • Page 105 (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.
