Model 1060AM Digital Smart
Detector
Description
The Model 1060AM is a smart radiation detector,
designed for area monitoring. It is a printed circuit board which supports a
wide variety of "front end" radiation detectors and provides electronic
digital and analog information about the radiation environment to users.
The Model 1060AM collects, interprets,
analyzes, stores and communicates radiation detector data from virtually all
pulse generating radiation detectors such as Geiger Mueller tubes, proportional
tubes, boron tri-fluoride tubes, and photo-multiplier tube / scintillators. To
support these radiation detectors the 1060 provides a wide range high voltage
suitable to operate most radiation detectors.
The 1060AM provides digital and analog outputs,
and is a good citizen on a network. It operates independently or as a member of
a larger system.
It is configurable by the user through serial
software commands, either locally or remotely, and defaults upon power up or
reset to predetermined operational characteristics which can be established and
altered by the operator. Such defaults are stored in a non-volatile memory.
The Model 1060AM circuit board is only 2.8 by
8.8 inches (7.11 x 22.29 cm) in size and therefore requires a very small space
for mounting.
It can be mounted in a variety of enclosures
for many different environments.
It provides, via digital communication, raw and
conditioned data from any or all of the inputs. It performs a wide variety of
calculations on raw data, such as conversion to engineering units, and boxcar
or exponential smoothing of data.
Up to 3 1060AM's can be networked to a computer
with the WinSYS application program resident. WinSYS polls each 1060AM and
displays the radiation value. An optional analog display is also available. The
display scale is logarithmic.
