Item Description
Time & date
  • Time format: select a 12 or 24 hour format
  • Time zone
  • Date format: switch between 'yyyy-MM-dd', 'MM/dd/yyyy', or 'dd.MM.yyyy'
  • Use time from network: Sets the device time using the connected network.

Click SET to save the changes.
Language Select the display language. The FW currently supports English (US), German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
Units
  • °C, °F, and K for temperature (default °C)
  • hPa and Pa for pressure (default hPa)

Click RESET TO DEFAULT button to reset the units.

Before starting a measurement, ensure the kTp correction units are correct.
Trigger Mode

Set the desired values for Trigger Mode (see Trigger mode settings):

  • Beam on time (default 1 s)
  • Beam off time (default 2 s)
  • Pre trigger time (default 500 ms)
  • Post trigger time (default 500 ms)
User calibration

Click on High, Medium, or Low to enter the desired sensitivity. Sensitivity ranges:

  • High: 400fA – 600pA
  • Medium: 6pA – 60nA
  • Low: 2.4nA – 24µA

User calibration factors applied can be switched on/off.
Network
configuration

Connect the DOSE-X to a network (WLAN or Ethernet)

  • Allow remote control
  • Import TLS certificate

See Section 3.3.
Admin settings
  • Select the time of inactivity before the system logs out
    • Example: if 5 min is selected the Admin will be logged out approximately 5 min after there has been no active use of the device.
  •  Select the amount of time before control is automatically released.
    • Example: if 60 sec is selected, active control of the device is released approximately 60 sec after there has been no active control actions performed. See Section 3.3.3 for more information on active control.
  •  Change the password
Update firmware Update firmware via USB flash drive or remote access. See Section 6.2.1.
Configuration
backup
  • Import: Import a backup of the device settings
  • Export: Export all configuration, libraries, and measurement history
  • Reset to Factory Defaults: Deletes all user settings and restores the device to factory default

See Section 3.4.

 

Diagnostic Functions

Self-Test Functionalities

Self-tests are performed automatically during device warm-up and can be performed manually at any time by pressing the Perform Test button on the Diagnostic Functions page.

When manually performing self-tests, please ensure that the protective cover has been placed over the Triaxial Connector before tapping the Perform Tests button.

The Self-Test Functions tab displays the results of the Leakage, Bias, and Electrical Sensitivity tests.

  • Bias Test: Checks the insulation resistance between the center electrode and GND of the entire sensor, extension cable, and dosimeter system.
  • Leakage Test (Isolation Collection electrode to Guard): Checks the insulation resistance between the
    center electrode and the guard of the entire sensor, extension cable, and dosimeter system.
  • Electrical Stability Test: During the test, a highly stable, bipolar reference charge source is used to check the proper function and the long-term stability of the charge input amplifier circuit. The results of these tests are displayed, as absolute values (nominal and measured value) and relative deviation (in percent of nominal value).

 

System Monitoring

The System Monitoring tab displays the following system status information:

  • Power Supply Voltage
  • Real Time Clock Battery
  • Internal System Voltages
  • System Temperature

 

Export Log Files

Tapping EXPORT LOG FILES in the system settings menu to open the Export log files screen. Select one of four options to export:

  • System log: Contains log entries of all FW components, inclusive Kernel. The complete system log may have many entries, resulting in a big export file size. The export file size may be reduced by selecting one of the other three options.
  • System log since last boot: Same as above but reduced to the log entries since the last power on/off.
  • Measurement log: A filtered system log which contains the log entries from the measurement components only.
  • Measurement log since last boot: Same as above but reduced to the log entries since the last power on/off.

DOSE-X data is exported as plain text files which can easily be opened in most text editors and word
processors.
