  • Nuclide Library +


    The Detective DX1 has a very comprehensive nuclide list. A subset of the entire nuclide library is the default “Threat Isotopes”; these are marked in RED. The advanced user is able to add any of the nuclides marked in GREEN to the list of red-marked threat isotopes. The color coding in the table shows the default background screen colors and visual alarms the instrument will present when these nuclides are encountered.

  • Sleuth Mode Interface +


    The new Sleuth App has the same functionality as the Detective-X Sleuth interface, with improvements to the UI afforded by the new OS and SW platform. Users familiar with the Detective-X version of Sleuth will have an easy transition to the new DX1 app.

    Sleuth Mode user interface is a simple and easy-to-use. It is designed for users who may use the instrument infrequently and need to take quick Nuclide ID measurement and provide data to reachback organizations

    The Sleuth App features:

    • A Simplified User Screen for users who are not experts in gamma spectroscopy.
    • The ability to stop or pause a count and restart that count.
    • Prompts to assist the user in determining the optimal distance to the Item of Primary Concern (IPC) for measurement.
    • Simple touch screen buttons for ease of use.
    Sleuth Mode is easy to learn, and simple to use, for users such as state and local law enforcement who may not use this type of instrumentation every day.

    Sleuth minimizes the opportunity for errors in situations where operators must multi-task to quickly and accurately assess the threat level posed by an item of primary concern (IPC).

    Because of its limited user interface, Sleuth can greatly simplify training protocols for operators as well.

  • RAPiD App +


    The new DX1 RAPiD App has the same functionality as the Detective-X RAPiD interface, with improvements to the UI afforded by the new OS and SW platform. Users familiar with the Detective-X will have an easy transition to the new DX1 app.

     

    The RAPiD (Radiological Assistance Program iDentification) application is designed to meet specific customer needs to streamline data collection while minimizing pesky alarm notifications.


    RAPiD Features Include:

    • Survey Mode screen provides an accessible view of the count rate, status, deadtime, and GPS location.
    • Monitor Mode screen offers easily viewable count rates, dead time readings, and GPS coordinates.
    • ID Mode screen displays the elapsed count time.
    • Continue data collection after the identification preset time has been reached.
    • Completely pause data collection.
    • Exit ID Mode without saving the results at the end of the measurement if desired.
    • Choose local time instead of Zulu or CMT time.
    • Recall a spectrum stored in the instrument and look at the details (including viewing the actual spectra).

  • Calibration Service +


    Certified dose rate calibration service. ORTEC provides a NIST traceable Calibration Certification with the measurements all within ±10% for ten dose rates from .01 mR/hr to 2000 mR/hr. The total measurement uncertainty with all systematic sources of error included is less than ±20%. A certified Calibration Certificate is provided. The dose rate calibration is warranted for one year.
