Measurement automation - powerful and easy to use
With Global Value, gamma spectroscopy measurements are no longer a daunting task. You simply select a detector and measurement type from the simple Windows Explorer-style interface, and automated scripts guide you through the process. These scripts can be pre-configured, for example, by setting nearly all analysis options ahead of time, minimizing the chance of errors in data entry by novices or busy multitaskers. Scripts can also be customized for experienced analysts to give them more options during the measurement process.

Global Value comes pre-configured with a variety of quality assurance and sample measurement processes that are available "out of the box" and can be easily modified to meet different needs.

Main automation features:

• Security against unauthorized initiation of measurements
• Standardized data management system integration to eliminate incorrect data entry
• Spectrum reanalysis occurs simultaneously with data acquisition measurements
• Template- and profile-based automated scripts simplify maintenance and multiple detector configurations
• Configurable data input options for typical sample size calculations such as air filter volume, dilution, and unit conversions
• Custom data entry options available with Microsoft Excel
• Software spectral multiplexing (summation with optional conversion gain adjustment) for detector array configuration while monitoring the performance of individual detectors
• Dual spectrum analysis process improves sample throughput for particulate/iodine air filters and other sample types
• Dead-time verification and acquisition start timer controls improve measurement accuracy and consistency

  • Instrument QA includes automatic energy and/or shape recalibration
  • Instrument QA includes automatic gain stabilization
  • QA status verification integrated with sample measurement process

Sample management - simple and convenient
Managing analysis results using traditional gamma spectroscopy systems can be quite complex. Hard copy analysis reports are long, often require manual markup, and require considerable effort to archive. Nuclide data are also often used for additional calculations or need to be manually loaded into data management systems - an error-prone and time-consuming process.

Global Value streamlines these processes and eliminates errors through secure electronic data editing/review procedures and seamless integration with data management and document control systems. Automated document management and reduced time and errors in manual data processing increase productivity, which brings profits that far outweigh Global Value's investment costs.

• Integrated database maintenance - no external database management required (such as Oracle or SQL Server)
• Unlimited user-defined data parameters for reporting and system queries on related samples

Quality Assurance - Highly Reliable
Instrument performance must be regularly verified to ensure that measurements meet certain quality standards. Performance verification must be performed in accordance with regulations, industry standards, or field procedures. These documents may specify parameters that need to be monitored, validation periods and corrective actions - all of which can be easily met using Global Value.

Quality assurance is one of Global Value's outstanding advantages. It provides flexible configuration and controls to monitor all key metrics to ensure instrument performance is verified within defined cycles. Data evaluation and reporting capabilities also simplify auditor verification of instrument performance, routine data review, and integration of data and reports with existing site systems—all within a secure environment.

System configuration and management
Global Value is designed to meet a wide range of data storage and networking needs while minimizing operator requirements on systems management procedures and information technology. This is achieved through a distributed file and database architecture that works well on stand-alone computers or network systems, as well as maintenance tools for data backup, verification, and recovery.

Our expert technicians can install turnkey systems to minimize implementation time, train managers, and integrate data and reporting with site systems. We find that users often need to invest a significant amount of time configuring applications, changing procedures, and training staff after system changes are completed, and our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible.
