I

Current nC/Min

Electrical current delivered to readout in

response to radiation incident upon

detector.

Q

Charge nC

Electrical charge delivered to readout in

response to radiation incident upon

detector.

ADC

A-D Counts

Counts

Electrometer output level returned by

A-D Converter during dose or dose rate

measurement.


ADZ


A-D Zero


Counts

Electrometer output level returned by

A-D Converter while operating in the

dose rate measurement mode and in

the absence of radiation. A-D Zero

levels are field programmable via

Customization Software.


QG


Charge Gain


nC / Count

Overall electrical charge gain of the

electrometer / A-D combination when

measuring in the dose mode. Charge

gain values are field programmable via

Customization Software.


IG


Current Gain


(nC/Min) / Count

Overall electrical current gain of the

electrometer and A-D combination

when measuring in the dose rate mode.

Current gain values are field

programmable via Customization

Software.
