    To insure that the proper sized sources are used in calculating the calibration constant, and dead time of the Model 2350-1 and detectors the following calculation should be performed. % Dead Time Loss = No. of source counts in 1 second X Dead Time (in seconds)
  • Page 8: High Voltage Ramp Routine

    MODEL 2350-1 Data Logger 2. CALIBRATION ROUTINES 2.1 High Voltage Ramp Routine The high voltage ramp routine is useful when a user needs to plateau a detector to determine the proper operating voltage of the detector. The following display will appear when performing the routine.
  • Page 9 MODEL 2350-1 Data Logger 2. CALIBRATION ROUTINES The following example demonstrates how to run a plateau on a Model 44-2 Gamma Scintillator. KEYSTROKES RESPONSE Note: Before performing the SHR(x) command, certain parameters must be set. The parameters that need to be set include the threshold, window position, and count time.
