General Description<br />
Windows-Based Software<br />
“Edit” will display and allow editing of Instrument and Detector<br />
parameters. The instrument parameters consist of Instrument RDA,<br />
RDA Confidence Level, Sigma Factor, Overall Efficiency,<br />
Maximum Count Time, and Alarm Hold Time. The detector<br />
parameters include High Voltage, Efficiency, Shield Factor, Sigma<br />
Factor, and Max RDA. After editing, the operator can either save the<br />
parameters and exit or quit without a save. If the parameters are<br />
saved they are saved to both the disk and the portal.<br />
Disk Edit<br />
At the main menu “Disk Edit” is selected when instrument and/or detector<br />
parameters are to be edited. A submenu consisting of “<strong>PM</strong>7, System, and<br />
Quit” is presented.<br />
c. <strong>PM</strong>-7<br />
Parameters for up to 15 different portals can be edited in this<br />
routine. When the routine is first invoked, the operator will be<br />
prompted to enter the monitor number. The parameters are the<br />
same as those described in “Edit” , above. The difference is that the<br />
program is not connected to a portal while in this routine so the<br />
parameters are only saved to disk. Also, multiple portal parameters<br />
can only be edited from this menu selection.<br />
d. System<br />
Access to this routine can only be gained if the<br />
SYSTEMPASSWORD has been correctly entered. Initially, both the<br />
main password and the system password are set to “Eberline”. Both<br />
can be edited from within this routine.<br />
When the system password is different from the main password, two<br />
levels of security exist.<br />
The screen that is presented when this routine is accessed is<br />
separated into three regions. The first region displays headings of<br />
“Password” and “System Password”. If either is to be edited, the<br />
operator must scroll to the desired field and press > F1. The operator<br />
then will be prompted for the current password. After correctly<br />
entering the current password, the operator must press > F1 again<br />
and then enter the new password. The new password is displayed as<br />
it is entered during this session for verification.<br />
The second region of the screen is titled “Communications”. From<br />
this region the active COM port for the computer can be toggled<br />
between 1 and 2. The serial communications protocol (9600 baud,<br />
