Radioactivity-Meter 1.2
Use your smartphone as a Geiger counter tomeasure the radioactive radiation in your environment. The app usesthe noise induced by the radioactive radiation in the smartphone'shardware to detect and quantify the radioactivity.The most important part for the detection of the radioactivity isthe camera chip of the smartphone. During the measument absolutelyno incident light is allowed for the camera. Therefore the cameralens must be sealed e.g. by a black insulating tape. Of course youcan keep the lens shut by your finger, but sometimes a little lightshines through the fingers. In this case use at least additionallya cloth to shut the lens.First calibrate the radioactivity-meter for yoursmartphone-hardware:a) Fix the zero point where no radioactivity is caught by thesmartphone. The zero point must be fixed at the lowest temperatureof all future measurements.b) Measure the radioactivity at a place, where the currentradioactivity is known and assign this known gauge value and itsunit to the value, measured by your smartphone to establish arelation between the internal hardware-dependent values of thesmartphone and the real absolute quantity of radioactivity. Themore exact the calibration and the higher the gauge value, thebetter the measurement results. From then on yourradioactivity-meter is able to indicate the currentradioactivity.Due to the different hardware of the various smartphones wecannot ensure, that Radioactivity-Meter works on all smartphoneswith sufficient accuracy.Since Radioactivity-Meter uses statistical algorithms tocalculate the stochastic noise processes, the measuring situationsshould be always as similar as possible to avoid deviations of themetered values: same ambient temperature (without the zero pointfixing), same up time of the smartphone, same method for sealingthe camera lens etc. For this reason only single measurements arepossible, no continuous measurements.That way you can use your smartphone to determine at least thetendency for the changes of the radioactivity radiation.NO WARRANTIESSPITCONSULT expressly disclaims any warranty for its softwareproducts.
