    Hi Ed,

    I could add a quick legend right now, but the entire website will be completely changed soon, and several improvements will take care of this request as well.

    So better let’s go with the newer version instead.

    Hi Lars,

    What’s strange about it is that also the duty cycle has increased:
    https://www.uradmonitor.com/data/0.1/public.php?id=11000016&param=duty&start=25&size=xxlarge&integration=3

    Did you change the power supply or the power supply cable?

    EDIT: I found the answer, it was the temperature that caused the duty cycle increase: the higher temperature levels affected the permeability of the ferrite core in the high voltage inverter, resulting in the higher duty cycle:
    https://www.uradmonitor.com/data/0.1/public.php?id=11000016&param=temp&start=25&size=xxlarge&integration=3

    Still, I don’t know what’s causing the increase in readings, but I will think more about it.

    Lars, I see the increase dates back to Feb 20:

    https://www.uradmonitor.com/data/0.1/public.php?id=11000016&param=cpm&start=25&size=xxlarge&integration=3

    What changed at that point?

    Great stuff, I just promoted it to sticky. Thanks for sharing!

    It looks like a test with a radiation source.

    Thanks wolf, I hope to have the API ready as soon as possible. I will post all details here, and in a dedicated blog post as well.

    in reply to: What is the maximum value for "Uptime" #1416

    That counter is a uint32_t, and it can go from 0 to 2^32-1, or 0..4294967295 .

    4294967295 seconds means aprox. 136 years.

    This can only indicate tube damage during transit, but it is somewhat unlikely, as it never happened until now. Unit data during pre-shipment tests is attached.

    Certainly – New coordinates in place. Congrats on running the first Russian unit. The SBM-20 has returned home 🙂

    Thank you!

    That is a very nice solution!

    However I am surprised you preferred to use the HTML content instead of the JSON available under http://ip/j

    Coordinates updated!

    I will think about a way of implementing your requirement. Thanks!

     Your SQL query has been executed successfully (Query took 196.2649 sec)
    CREATE INDEX idx_db_devid ON uradmonitor(
    db_devid
    )

    I was just creating 7 charts in parallel for some experiment with various tubes. It was hard for the server, but after adding this additional index all 7 were generated instantly!

    Speed improvement: amazing!

    Thanks

    Hi Rick,

    I didn’t notice this in my tests so it might be a particular case. Ignoring the first readings is not the best option, we would need to see the root cause of the spike instead. Ignoring would waste precious data, and we’ll never know how to set a “first interval” value. 1 minute? 10minute? Not reliable as if there is a problem it can happen at any time.

    Looking at the chart I see the time axis is continuous, where did the power off occur?

    On older firmwares there was a default duty cycle set for the inverter. At power up this could have produced higher voltages, potentially resulting in excessive counts on the geiger tube, however I see you run 110 already, where the duty cycle starts at an absolute minimum and is brought up to the required value, as controlled by the internal regulator.

    Another cause might be the so-called “compensation capacitor” that might need to be replaced on your unit. This component is responsible for controlling any unwanted oscillations taking place over the tube. But I see no reason why this capacitor would fail, so this is not a real explanation either.

    Power failures might still induce voltage spikes of various kinds. Can you run a few power off/on cycles and see if this is happening on a consistent basis? I suspect not.

    But let me know.

    Thanks,
    Radu

    Hehe, I wrote a linear color divider like this myself some time ago, but in C. Thanks for the code!
