Application of LabVIEW in Emulation Study on Time-to-Count Measuring System

Abstract:

By making use of LabVIEW, this paper emulates the Time-To-Count measuring system with Geiger-Mueller counter. Results of the emulation indicate that compared with the conventional mode of pulse counting, under the condition of higher intensity of ionizing radiation, method of Time-To-Count can avoid negative effect of Geiger-Mueller counter’s long dead-time. However with ionizing radiation attenuating, the advantage of Time-To-Count will disappear gradually. According to the emulation, this paper also puts forward some suggestions to improve the Time-To-Count measuring system.
