Welcome to the Nuclear Radiation Detection group. This list is for discussing the Rad software, interfacing it to detectors, as well as Black Cat Systems line...
Hi, Chris Smolinski. Congratulations for your new group. It's a good idea to 'open' your RAD program to third-party geiger counters, using the RS232 port (or...
... Hi Rui, I'll have to take a look and see how easy it would be to use the parallel port. It isn't as easy under Windows, which is probably why the software...
... Sounds good, let me know how it works out. Might need some tweaking. The key is to keep the output pulses in the roughly 50-100 microsecond range, which is...
Hi again, Chris. As a help, if you'll try to use the LPT port, the RD-3 outputs the pulse signal to pin 10 (-ACK) of the LPT port. It has always +5 volts and...
... Hi Rui, That's a negative logic input on the parallel port, so I expect that the RD-3 produces a pulse that goes to zero volts for a short period of time....
Hi again, Chris. I'm not very good in doing PCB boards. If you have one of these circuits, mounted or in kit, and you are willing to sell it, i can buy it. As...
No boards available, but you could use one of the little prototyping PCBs that Radio Shack sells, I think they run just a few dollars each. Most of the mail...
I have a LUDLUM 44-9 type probe (GEO210 <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7618023450&rd=1&sspa\ gename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1> ) that i...
... I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "don't have any precision" ? ... You'd probably have a limit of around 100k CPM or so, and the pile up would...
Hi Chris Smolinski and thanks for answering so quickly. The problemm is with the audio input of my laptop. I only have a micro input, not a line input and the...
... You'll still probably top out at around 100k CPM with the GMI. Maybe a little higher, but the response curve will certainly be flattened. I could certainly...
Hi, I'm considering buying a radiation detector as part of my home atmospheric observatory. The main idea here is to provide ongoing radiation detection...
... If you're going to mount it outside, you will want to protect it against rain, moisture, etc. You'd need some sort of protective device over, and perhaps...
... If you are thinking about a geiger counter or something similar, you are probably measuring gamma radiation which will penetrate the house easily. Just...
Hello All, I purchased a GM-10 a while ago 4/14/03 and have enjoyed gathering data. Now I would like to expand and mount the GM-10 on top of my 50' tower that...
... You could probably use 100 ft of a high quality shielded cable. You only need to run the TX, RX and DTR lines of the serial port. Take a look at...
How is it possible to measure X-ray emissions from TVs, CRT monitors and especially from old three tubes CRT data projectors? What device is best suited for...
You would want a radiation detector with a thin mica window (like the GM-10 or GM-45 that I sell) which allows the low energy X-Rays to be detected. Take...
I'd like to save the RadLinux GM-10 graph hourly replacing an existing plot which will be linked to my webpage. Periodic saving of the graph seems not to be...
Hello fellow members, I ended up here after Rui, CT1AIC made a bid on an item I was selling on eBay, a sample of Uranpyrochlore from Western Australia, hi Rui....
Hi there Im interested in purchasing a device that would be capable of detecting and measuring an X Ray beam less then several photons across and was wondering...
