|
When attempting to perform the radiation survey, the program displayed an error at startup stating that the software was not able to keep up with the
incoming hardware samples, and suggested to increase sampling rate or buffer size. The default sampling rate of 500 ms was not used - rather, 100 ms was
used. No issues were observed with this rate. As far as I am aware, this issue had not occurred in the past, and the cause is unknown. |
