1.1 Control of Simulators STS aims to make simulators that are indistinguishable from real instruments, so that the person being instructed experiences the best possible training. A consequence of this is that there is a possibility that the simulator could be mistaken for a real instrument, and then used for a real monitoring task, when, obviously, no readings would result.
In particular, STS systems allow the trainee to master the skill of probe manipulation and also to develop an understanding of the ease with which contamination spreads.
The discipline of good probe manipulation near surfaces is thus instilled by the system, resulting in good practice by the trainee when set to work. User Manual STS Smart Interface for Ludlum 3/12 and HP260 Probe 2023 Page 6 of 17...
The useful training period by SS4 is about 2 hours for a 0.3g pile of material, after which the signal will decrease, reaching zero cps after about 4 hours. An inert powder will remain after the signal has completely disappeared. User Manual STS Smart Interface for Ludlum 3/12 and HP260 Probe 2023 Page 7 of 17...
These problems can usually be identified by moving the instrument to another location. SECTION 3 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ TECHNICAL INFORMATION User Manual STS Smart Interface for Ludlum 3/12 and HP260 Probe 2023 Page 8 of 17...
