CONNECTING THE CALIBRATOR

Connect one end of the cable to the “RS-232” port on the rear panel of the Calibrator.
Connect the other end of the cable to the Serial (Comm) port of the computer.

The calibrator must be connected to the PC and on the Chamber measurement screen
before starting the Communications program.

DEMONSTRATION MODE

Until you have purchased a license for the program, the program will run in Demonstration
Mode.

Reference License Frame on page 14 for information on obtaining a license.

The program will operate as if connected to a CRC®-15R Enhanced Calibrator but no
measurements can be obtained from a calibrator and no data can be saved, printed or
exported.

A pre-determined isotope and activity will be displayed.

STARTING THE PROGRAM

Double-click the desktop icon created during the installation procedure to start the CRC®-15
Communications program. Figure 6 Main Screen will appear.

All functions are accessed from the Main Screen.

October 07 9

CAPINTEC, INC. CRC®-15 Series Communications

Figure 6 Main Screen

From the Main screen, the following functions can be accessed:
• Data Acquisition
• Repeated Acquisition
• Maximum Activity Acquisition
• Setup

Note: The Repeated Acquisition and the Maximum Activity Acquisition buttons are inactive
(grayed out) on the Main Screen for the CRC®-15BT Calibrator.

Data Acquisition
(Reference DATA ACQUISITION on page 14 for operational instructions.)
The activity and isotope are displayed and updated every second. Selected measurements
may be saved and saved data may be printed or exported to Excel.

10 October 07

CAPINTEC, INC. CRC®-15 Series Communications

If your calibrator is a CRC®-15R Enhanced, CRC®-15 Beta Enhanced or CRC®-15W
Enhanced, the Isotope and User keys will be displayed on the Data Acquisition screen. The
isotope may be changed from the PC and the User keys will display the assigned isotope (for
any other calibrator, the Isotope and User keys are not shown).

If your calibrator is a CRC®-15R Enhanced, CRC®-15 Beta Enhanced, CRC®-15W Enhanced
or CRC®-15PET Enhanced, the Data Acquisition function can also display the readings from
the following tests:

• Daily (which consists of the Zero, Background, System, Accuracy and Constancy
tests)

• System
• Accuracy
• Background

The readings are displayed and updated every second.

Repeated Acquisition
Note: Repeated Acquisition is not available for the CRC®-15BT Calibrator.

(Reference REPEATED ACQUISITION on page 19 for operational instructions.)

The isotope and activity are displayed and updated at time intervals set by the user and for
the number of measurements set by the user. The data for each interval are automatically
saved and may be printed or exported to Excel.

Maximum Activity Acquisition
Note: Maximum Activity Acquisition is not available for the CRC®-15BT Calibrator.

(Reference MAXIMUM ACTIVITY ACQUISITION on page 22 for operational instructions.)

The isotope and activity are displayed and updated at time intervals set by the user. The
maximum activity will also be displayed. The data acquisition must be stopped by the user.
The maximum activity will be automatically saved and may be printed or exported to Excel.

Setup
(Reference PROGRAM SETUP on page 12 for operational instructions.)

Used to select the calibrator, select the communications port that the calibrator is connected
to and input the information to be included on the report headers. The License Request Form
is generated here and License information is entered here.

License frame at the top of the screen.
For a Standard calibrator (15R, 15W, 15Beta, 15PET, 15PET Enhanced, 15PET Dual
Chamber, 15BT) the Activation Code is related to your computer. The Serial Number box will
be grayed out and blank.
For an Enhanced calibrator (15R Enhanced, 15W Enhanced, and 15Beta Enhanced) the
Activation Code is the last 4 digits of the calibrator serial number. The Serial Number box will
display the serial number of the calibrator.
Note: Remember that the program only communicates with the Chamber portion of the

CRC®-15Beta, CRC®-15Beta Enhanced, CRC®-15W and CRC®-15W Enhanced.

Note: If you have exited Setup before entering the license, you will still be in
Demonstration Mode. Re-enter Setup and click the appropriate radio button
for your calibrator.

Enter the License Code making sure that you enter the License with upper case
letters. If the license is correctly entered, you will be able to obtain data from the
calibrator.

Communications Port Frame

Comm 1 is set as the default. If there is more than one RS-232 port on your computer and
you want to use another port for communications with the calibrator, select another port. The
port will be set up when the Done button is pressed.

Report Header Frame

Up to 40 characters per line may be entered in these 5 fields. The Report Header will be
printed on all of the reports.
