Abstract
This paper presents the realized microprocessor based instrument. Convenient facilities of interest for radiation monitoring are acquired by incorporated adequate software. The main requirements fulfilled by software are defined by the task of the radiation monitor i.e. obtaining dose rate or count rate of pulses from detector. The choice of a convenient algorithm for count rate is discussed. There are other values that may be of interest in application of radiation monitor such as: error of shown result, tendency of dose rate change, the warning signal of approaching the alarm level, as well as the signal of reaching the alarm level. Maximal and/or minimal value of measured dose rate is also useful to be registered. Inclusion of all these possibilities in the software support of the instrument is discussed and the accepted solution is described.
