Operators Manual

Refer to the following sections for details on the timed measurements:

•Section B.3.2, Making Timed Exposure Measurements, presents an overview on configuring and using the timer.

•Section B.4.1, Front Panel Controls: RESET/MEASURE, discusses how to start and stop the timer as well as zero measurements.

•Section B.4.4, Timer Setup, provides details on the timer configuration.

•Section B.5, THEORY OF OPERATION, specifies how the instrument performs timed measurements.

•Section B.7, CUSTOMIZATION, provides information on customizing the measurement displays and timer intervals.

B.2.3 Specifications Update

This section lists the specification changes with respect to the Model 35040 Therapy Dosimeter Instruction Manual.

Timed Charge Measurements

Range and Resolution: Same as charge measurements.

Measurement Method: The timed charge measurement is derived by monitoring the charge integrated over a time interval that begins with the activation of the timer. The timer automatically stops when the elapsed time is equal to the timer interval setting or the exposure is over. Interpolation is used to determine the charge at an integral number of seconds.

Measurement Accuracy: Same as charge measurements assuming that the rate of charge delivery does not dramatically change within the interpolation window interval. Refer to Section B.5 for calculation details.

Current Measurements

Range, Resolution, and Noise:

	Full Scale Range	Display Resolution	Noise
	Full Scale Range	Display Resolution	(± counts)

	2.000 nA	0.001 nA	2

	20.00 nA	0.01 nA	1

	200.0 nA	0.1 nA	1
