Description

At present, portable instruments for radon measurement are large in volume, poor in measurement sensitivity and digitized degree. We have designed a new portable instrument for radon measurement with GPS, new data acquisition and control circuit based on ARM7. It has higher sensitivity, accuracy and velocity. Embedded operation system (uc/OS-Ⅱ) was used in software design for increasing stability and operability. The results of field assay showed that the instrument can be used for radon measurement in geologic and hydrographic survey. (authors)
