A geiger counter detects nuclear radiation by measuring the emission of ionizing radiation of alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays. Also referred to as a radiation detector, a geiger counter consists of two main elements: the processing electronics and the geiger tube. The geiger tube is filled with low-pressure inert gas like helium, argon or neon. If radioactive radiation occurs, the inert gas is ionized. An anode within the geiger tube registers the quantity of ionized particles numerically correlating with the strength of the radioactive radiation. The radioactivity measurement is then displayed on the LCD screen of the geiger counter or radiation detector.It is very important to measure radioactivity as well as to classify radioactivity values. For example, terrestrial gamma radiation is measured according to general values from 0.03 - 0.3 µSv/h (microsievert / hour). This "normal" oscillation range is conditioned by natural radioactive elements in the ground such as uranium and potassium. To calculate this factor, one must take into consideration cosmic radiation. For example, when considering cosmic radiation, the maximum radioactivity content at Schneefernerhaus, the highest-located German environmental research station, is approximately equal to 110 µSv/h.At PCE Instruments, you will find three types of geiger counter or raditation detection devices to help you measure radioactivity: 1) alpha radioactivity meters, 2) meters for detecting alpha, beta and gamma radioactivity and 3) radioactivity meters for human beings.

Embedded Controller
The cRIO-9047 is a rugged, high-performance, customizable embedded controller that offers Intel Atom quad-core processing, NI-DAQmx support, and an SD card slot for … data-logging, embedded monitoring, and control. It includes a Kintex-7 70T FPGA with LabVIEW FPGA Module support for advanced control and coprocessing. The controller provides precise, synchronized timing and deterministic communications using Time Sensitive Networking (TSN), which is ideal for highly distributed measurements. This controller offers several connectivity ports, including Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.1, USB 2.0, RS232, and RS485 ports. You can use the USB 3.1 ports to add a local human machine interface and program, deploy, and debug software, which simplifies application development.
