System Operation As part of a larger system, the 1060 will communicate via serial link to a host
computer. In this configuration, the 1060 will recognize its system address and
respond to commands.
Main Software Modules The main software modules include the following:
INITIALIZE
RC
MAIN
APPL.H
The Intel libraries include:
fpal 96, stdlib, KR, string
stdio, printf, C 96,
Software Quality
Assurance
The 1060 software follows the quality assurance guidelines set forth in NRC
regulatory policies and IEEE standards for Software:
ANSI/IEEE Std 730-1984 Software Quality Assurance Plans
ANSI/IEEE Std 830-1984 Software Requirements Specification
ANSI/IEEE Std 1016-1987 Software Design Specification
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. "Software Engineering
Standards", c 1987.
ANSI/ANS-10.4-1987, "Guidelines for the Verification and Validation of Scientific
and Engineering Computer Programs for the Nuclear Industry"
IEEE Std 175-185 "Floating Point Mathematics".
Specific Functions
The software can perform the following functions:
1.
Count pulses from a detector (analog /digital)
2. Calculate the average Counts Per Unit Time
3. Apply dead-time correction
4. Compensate for background radiation
5. Compensate for pressure (requires analog input information)
6. Compensate for flow (requires analog input information)
7. Convert to engineering units
8. Maintain all operating parameters, and data buffers in the event of a power
failure
9. Respond to serial communications from supervisory processors:
• Provide raw detector input
• Provide uncompensated radiation values
• Provide compensated radiation values
• Provide CPS, CPM, CPI
• Provide historical averages
• Provide for user alterable parameters
• Perform self-calibrations and store relevant parameters
• Provide information in engineering units
