Description / Abstract:
This standard specifies the data format that shall be used for
both required and optional data available at the output of
radiation measurement instruments that are used for homeland
security applications. The performance requirements for these types
of radiation measurement instruments are described in other
standards such as ANSI N42.321, ANSI N42.33, ANSI
N42.34, ANSI N42.35, ANSI N42.38, ANSI N42.43, ANSI N42.48, ANSI
N42.49A, and ANSI N42.53.
The output consists of measurement data and results of any
analysis performed by the radiation measurement instrument.
This standard does not address instrument control, data
transmission protocols, or the physical media used for
communications.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to provide a uniform format for
data to be output from radiation measurement instruments for use in
homeland security applications. This enables interpretation of data
without reference to manufacturer's documentation.
