The GQ GMC-500 digital Geiger Counter is an enhanced model of all previous models. It added new features, such as WiFi connectivity on board, user-defined website wireless data logging to the server, new graphics UI, feature expend interface etc.
Some pictures here may be taken from a GMC-320, GMC-300 model, but GMC-500 has same features on it.
It is designed to be a portable and convenient device. The device comes with built-in audible and visual signals for the level of radiation detected. It can be used for radiation detection and monitoring both indoor and outdoor, as well as in other similar environments. It features automatic data recording. It can continually monitor the radiation and log the data each second into internal memory. When connected to a PC, the software can download the radiation history data to the computer and the user is able to analyze those data later.
The device is equipped with a USB port, utilized for communication and external power supply/charging of the internal rechargeable battery.
The GQ GMC-500 internal rechargeable battery can be charged with a standard USB charger/computer USB port or any other device with USB port. Using USB power, continuous data monitoring is possible. Using either power adapter you will not have to worry about the batteries charge condition or any data loss.
The software newly added Geiger Counter World Map connectivity. It allows users to store the reading data via the internet to the server. Users are able to retrieve the history data any time, anywhere in the world. The service is free to GQ GMC users with unlimited history data storage space.
The main board also has a real time clock on board for time-related data logging purposes.
The USB port communicates with the GQ GMC-500 demo software and the GQ Geiger Counter Data Viewer software.
The GQ GMC-500 demo software is a 1:1 to actual GMC-500 unit. Its appearance is an exact copy of the GMC-500 hardware human interface. You can download it for free and experience the GMC-500 user interface before you purchase the real hardware.
The GQ Geiger Counter Data Viewer software can download the time-stamped radiation (history) data from the unit and save it on a computer for future references and analysis.
For professional data logging of radiation data, the GQ Geiger Counter Data Viewer(Logger) may be downloaded for free. An even more advanced version, the GQ Geiger Counter Data Logger PRO software may be purchased at low cost from GQ Electronics LLC.
The GQ data viewer software also can be used as real-time data monitor. users are able to save the real-time data into Excel .csv text format, HTML file format etc.
GQ GMC-500 provides open GQ RFC1201 communication protocol for easier system integration.
