GAMMA-SCOUT
®
automatically logs the number of pulses measured, and stores this data in its
internal memory. With the TOOLBOX software, this data can be read and processed fast and com-
fortably by a personal computer (for exact instructions, go to www.gamma-scout.com/toolbox.pdf.
The logging process is factory-set in a way that GAMMA-SCOUT
®
will accumulate the pulses each
week,storingthemasweeklyvalues.Onthisbasis,thecapacityofthememoryissufcienttolog
the weekly values over a period of 600 years.
As the following table demonstrates, you can also set shorter logging intervals, with corresponding
reductionsinthestoragecapacity.Whenthestoragecapacityislledup,theloggingstops.Sofar,
there has not been a single case where an overwriting was requested.
