My Experimental detection software

[Daniel]

firstly a big thank you to those who without their kindness I would have not been able to explore the hobby, help advice, equipment etc made available.

I have various detectors and software now and always thought the weakest link was my own self doubt on correct detection of multiple sources.

I also disliked the kromek kspec software that the multispec was £1200 and significant to a hobbyist with a kromek RA4S.
So I decided to try and build from what I have learned currently alpha state software with RA4S usb working and demo sampling. I also believe that sound card should be a viable input soon.

Daniel,

Writing your own software is a good way to learn about the art and get a much deeper understanding. Well done.

Hi Steven,
Thank you for the kind words.
Sound Gamma Spec I believe to be much much harder - than pulling channels out of USB device, it's taken a fair while to get sound results tangible like with theremino, PRA etc.

I'm currently working On IAEA compliance and tangibility, for instance we don't want Am241 on one peak match.

I've got things like the software can tell user the highest channel and guide with visual indicator that they are on it, something the Kromek kspec I struggled with sometimes with lots of peaks becoming a distraction.

The work of Tomy and Theremino team etc I found most useful, by this I believe that the equivalent software offered was as good and sometimes possibly superior- but I personally didn't have confidence to use it and believe I had right results.

Currently while away on holiday running software and checking it's database identification operation, hopefully some operational videos on YouTube soon.

Have you heard anything from George Dowell Geo aka K0FF or Geo electronics? or the other regulars? that I guess have since retired?

Kind regards

Daniel

I like your CRT green glow design, Daniel.

About Geo Dowell - I’ve seen many people asking the same question in several forums and discussion groups... A letter I sent more than a year ago was also never answered, although he was always very kind and helpful before. This isn’t his typical behaviour, and I can only hope I’m terribly wrong, but based on all of this, I would guess that George is, unfortunately, either incapacitated, or no longer with us. I’ll always remember him sending me extra stuff I never paid for.

Svilen, I had read that the property had been sold, I kind of hoped that George had at best moved to a smaller / retirement complex.
Time is a funny thing, it has a way of running away with us, I had hoped to share my exploits with George- bit like a student graduating and coming back with a meaningful project.

The green reminds me of cathode ray scopes- my grandad used to use when I was a child.

I'm also looking at PT100 platinum temperature probe, amplifier and esp32 or similar that prints temperature via HID to be driverless temperature compensation
