Rad7 Radon Monitor

 
The RAD7 is a highly versatile instrument that can form the basis of a comprehensive radon measurement system. It may be used in many different modes for different purposes. While you can start to make simple measurements on the first day of ownership of the RAD7, it can take years to master the subtleties. To appreciate the full capabilities of the instrument it is vital that you read the manual.
 

When a test is LIVE there is not much that you can do as most of the dialog’s functions are disabled. It is possible to stop the test anytime to dump the existing data to a file or to the status log.  If the Erase Data option is NOT selected you can then just restart the test and the Rad 7 will just continue counting into the current cycle.


If you wish to stop a test early you must select the Erase Data option before starting the next test. Otherwise the Rad 7 will continue using the previous setting until the total number of cycles needed to complete the previous protocol have been completed.
