The Intermediate System features the ST360 Radiation Counter. The counter has both serial and USB interfaces for connection to a PC computer and also includes support for optional NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors. As supplied, the system is ideally suited for studying the characteristics of radiation and conducting a wide variety of experiments. Features include preset time and preset count modes, a digital ratemeter with audible alarm point and digitally controlled high voltage. Included are an external GM counter and stand with 10-position slots, USB cable, STX software for computer control and data transfer with a PC, five radioisotope sources, 20-piece absorber set, lab manuals on CD with sample data and necessary cables. The software supplied with the ST360 Radiation Counter produces computer screen displays of all functions including analog emulation of the ratemeter mode. Real-time data is automatically transferred to the computer and stored in spreadsheet compatible files. Data analysis and graphical presentation is now possible using many common spreadsheet programs. Both PC and Macintosh software is included.
