Figure 4-3. Dose view—single pod display
•
The body of the display shows the following:
•
•
A color-coded “LED” next to the Pod number. The color shows Pod status:
•
•
Green = acquiring.
•
Red = no communication between that unit and the computer.
•
Blue = a recurring background measurement is underway.
•
ID Number of the Pod(s) connected for this setup. The letter “B” in an 1136 installation
indicates that the Pod is being used as a base station.

•
Diode connections A, B, C, and D for each Pod. The dose or dose rate value for each
diode is displayed.

•
Bat (battery). Three choices are selectable in the parameter setup screen: (1) Percent
remaining bar, (2) percent remaining text, and (3) Hours:minutes remaining. Letters show
status: d = discharging, c = charging, t = trickle charging (fully charged)

E = error status. If an error condition is present, an “E” will be displayed in this column.
Right-clicking on the “E” will display the error message. See “Error codes” on page 80.

Calibrated Setup buttons—clicking these buttons activate the calibrated setups for measure-
ment. Each button represents a calibration factor stored in the selected Pod. By right clicking
on the button, you can edit the labels for the setups so you can remember the setup condi-
tions for the exposure. These calibrations are the same as the Setups in the pull-down list
above.

NOTE: The Calibrated Setup “buttons” are the same as the “Energy Keys” on the front panel of the
Control Module. Clicking a single “button” enables the system to take a measurement using the
selected calibration.
