If you have purchased a Piranha before December 2013 and have the Display license level License level Display will not exist for Ocean 2014, this means a Piranha that has been delivered before December 2013 and has Display; will be automatically updated free of charge to Connect when it is used with Ocean 2014 the first time.
All red Piranha can be upgraded with the latest firmware and used with Ocean 2014. You must have both Ocean versions if you are using a mix of Barracuda and Piranha with firmware 4.0A and higher. You can import data from Ocean into Ocean 2014 but not in the opposite direction. This means that you can have all your data from all meters you have in Ocean 2014.
2014 version. When you update to Ocean 2014, your current installation of Ocean is left unchanged but takes your user data including your database from your current Ocean installation. You must keep your old Ocean installation if you are using Barracuda or if you have Piranha meters that aren't updated with new firmware.
2. When the Ocean 2014 installer starts you are presented to a number of choices. Read through the text carefully and select what is applicable to you. The installer will then install the required programs on your computer. Two utility applications, Detector Manager and RTI Updater, will also be installed on your computer.
Click on "Try to connect again". Ocean 2014 will now search for Bluetooth devices to find the Piranha. This can take up to a minute or more the first time for Ocean 2014 to find the Piranha and do the required Bluetooth pairing.
Quick Check Quick Check Use Quick Check when you just need to make a quick measurement. Quick Check automatically adapts to the meter you use and the detector you have connected. It is fully plug-and-play and any change you do is automatically detected and Quick Chick adapts to the new situation.
Page 17
Quick Check 4. You will see the Ocean 2014 tile to the left, click on it to start Ocean 2014. 5. Assuming that your meter is powered on; Ocean 2014 starts in Quick Check mode. 6. Select the modality you want to use: The coming topics will describe how you perform your first measurement and how you navigate in Quick Check.
Let us start with a simple measurement to illustrate how to use Quick Check. This example assumes a Piranha 657. If you have another model follow this example and apply it on what you see on your screen when you use your Piranha.
Page 19
Quick Check 2. Quick Check starts and a menu will be shown. The list is depending on your meter type, it might not appear at all. 3. Select Radiography. 4. The measurement loads and you are ready to start to measure. If the selected Quick Check is using a calibration that isn't available in your meter/detector, a dialogue is shown.

Main functions 3. Ocean will direct you to create a back-up of your database It is always a good practice to back up your data before attempting to import, just in case something happens during the import process. 4. After the backup is finished, Ocean will try to locate your oRTIgo database. If Ocean finds the database, it will appear pre-selected.
Every meter must have a license to use Ocean 2014. If you want to purchase the Connect or Professional license for your existing Piranha, or if you wish to purchase a new meter and Ocean, please contact your local distributor.
Frequently asked questions Piranha CT Dose Profiler Probes delivered before March 2012 has incorrect detector type stored in its memory. THis must be corrected before it can be used. THis is done, as described in the message, with the Detector Manager.
Frequently asked questions Where can I specify the scatter factor? In Ocean the scatter factor is called "Beam correction factor". This factor can be used to apply a correction on the measured exposure or exposure rate. You can find this parameter on the meter adjust tabs for exposure detectors or in the grid if specified as column or general setting.
Frequently asked questions Reporting Why don't I get any waveforms in the report? There are no waveforms included in the report by default. You must select waveforms you want to appear in the report manually. To include a waveform in the report, right-click on a row in the grid and select "Include waveform(s) in report".
