GeigerLink – How to Use it
GeigerLink will connect your Medcom Geiger Counter to computers running OS X or Windows operating systems. We ship the GeigerLink with the apps on a USB data stick.
When you open the GeigerLink package you will find a 3.5 mm cable, which should be connected between the 3.5 mm jacks on your Geiger Counter and your GeigerLink device. Next connect the supplied USB cable between your GeigerLink and your computer. The packaging materials containing your GeigerLink and accessories are recyclable and can also be used to store your GeigerLink when you arenʻt using it.
Next start the IMI Gateway App and select Instrument from the menu on top of the screen. Click on Add Instrument and then you have the ability to:
- Name the Instrument
- Select the serial port on your computer
- Select USB Geiger as Instrument Type
- Create notes about the instrument and installation
- Save your selected settings
Next click on Instruments and select the instrument you have just named and created. Click on Connect and you will be monitoring radiation levels.
You can view a graph of current and recent radiation readings and press Record to create a record of your readings.
Data Outputs can be configured to share your data with established radiation monitoring groups and can be customized for your own needs.
