Dosimeter setting

Dosimeter setting

The Edge general settings are used to setup the instrument with basic parameters. The eg4 model features two virtual dosimeters in one with two customized, user-defined settings. Please refer to the Edge dosimeter settings table below for an explanation of setup details.

1.Click on the Dosimeter tab from the Edge’s Instrument Configuration panel (see 1). To change the dosimeter settings, follow one (or all) of the selection options below.

Click on the checkbox to enable the dosimeter (LED) heartbeat, Dose indicator LED, and/or the Meter 1/Meter 2 Threshold settings.

Click in the circular button to select the response time (fast or slow), peak weighting (C or Z), and/or RMS Weighting (A or C).

To set the numeric fields either type in a value or use the arrows to enter appropriate values for the Meter1/Meter 2 settings (threshold, upper limit, exchange rate, criterion level, and RMS weighting).

2.When Meter 1 and Meter 2 settings are “enabled”, this will log (for eg4 model only) two different setups simultaneously. Typically, users will set the meter 1 and meter 2 with different regulatory or local standards (such as EU directive and OSHA).

3.To set the dosimeter settings, save and send to the Edge (for more details see “Saving and

sending configurations”).
