SabreBPM²
Quick Start Training - Part 1
The Quick Start Training part 1 is an overview of the SabreBPM² right out of the box. The video follows the necessary steps to get your unit up and running. It covers powering on, checking the filter, understanding the display, and viewing the spectrum. Part 1 ends with an +8 hour burn-in, which will be utilized in Part 2.
SabreAlert²
Quick Start Training – Part 1
The Quick Start Training part 1 is a general overview of a SabreAlert². The video follows the necessary steps to get your instrument up and running. It covers powering on, checking the filter, understanding the display, and viewing the spectrum. Part 1 ends with an +8 hour burn-in, which will be utilized in Part 2 (above).
SabreBPM² & SabreAlert²
Quick Start Training - Part 2
The Quick Start Training part 2 follows the necessary steps to calibrate your instrument. It covers adjusting energy peak markers, instrument properties, and settings for general, logging, beta, alpha isotopes of interest, flow, and optional communications.
SabreAlert² & SabreBPM
Flow Calibration
The Flow Calibration training teaches you how to properly calibrate either a SabreAlert³ or a SabreBPM² in respect to the flow of air through the instrument. It is important because the pump might not be pulling air through the system at the same rate as the instrument is reporting. In order for the instrument to function at an optimal efficiency, these values need to match.
SabreAlert² & SabreBPM
Alpha Calibration
The purpose of Alpha Calibration is to ensure that the peak-fitting algorithm knows where in the spectrum to expect the isotope and radon progeny peaks. This is so that proper radon background subtraction of the beta channel is performed. The calibration also checks for the alpha 4-Pi efficiency percentage. Perform Alpha calibration even if you have a Beta-only unit.
SabreAlert² & SabreBPM
Response Check
The Response Check training demonstrates how to check if the instrument is operating as it should. After either an Alpha or Beta Calibration has been performed, it is good to double check that the calibration was successful. Also, the response check can be done at any other time as well if the user wants to know if the SabreAlert² or SabreBPM is working correctly.
SabreBPM & SabreISC
Beta Calibration
The purpose of Beta Calibration is to ensure that the SabreBPM is correctly counting the actual beta peaks and not just noise, as well as to establish the beta 4-Pi efficiency percentage. Calibration includes establishing background thresholds, verifying the background count, and measuring the efficiency of true activity.
