A PC-based radiation monitor

Abstract

A low-cost high-precision system for monitoring the radioactivity level has been developed on the basis of a personal computer using the modern concept of virtual instrumentation. The proposed device has certain advantages over conventional systems: user-defined functions, open system architecture, multitask operation support, simple data sharing between different applications, convenient graphical users interface, easy network connection, full control of the system operation, complete and perfect presentation of the results of measurements, and reasonable price.
