Gain Stabilization and Source Check
Note: Prior to measuring samples the software requires that a gain stabilization and source
check be performed. It is possible to bypass or shorten these requirements by using the
manual gain stabilization function instead of the automatic gain stabilization, although
bypassing the automatic gain stabilization is not recommended (discussed later in the
section Bypassing Startup Requirements). For this quick start guide only the automatic
functions are discussed.
It is assumed that the K-40 Marinelli standard and detector are set up as described above in
step 2. Since the same source is used for both gain stabilization and source checking it is
