Purpose

The purpose of the Inspector-1000 training is to familiarize the user with the basic operations of the handheld dose-meter/nuclide analyzer.
Once the basic operations are covered, the training will focus on the Nuclide Identification and analysis capabilities of the Inspector-1000.
The algorithms are explained and the use of the mathematical efficiency calibration software is explained to allow the user to fully take advantage of the sophistication of the Inspector-1000.
