Re: Answers to Electronic Dosimetry Operability Checks



MG readers will check for the chirp, but the reliablity of the hardware that
determines whether it chirped is really poor, you get about 10% false
reportings that the dosimeter did not chirp.  This makes the checking pretty
much useless in a production environment.  I stopped having the software
check for chirps, because 10% of the people couldn't get in the plant.
