The 5700 sMON software displays and processes the data coming from the monitoring units connected to the system, and allows to control in real time the whole network from a host PC. The software archives every minute the dose rate and maximum instantaneous rate data, providing a daily archive file. Every 10 minutes, every hour and every day, the average rates are saved and stored too. The archives can be shared on a local LAN network. Data can be optionally stored to a Microsoft SQL Server RDBMS (Relational DataBase Management System) which allows retrieving data from network nodes by means of standard SQL queries. 5700 sMON functions feature three level of access: Operator, Experienced Operator, Administrator. Experienced Operator and Administrator functions are protected by means of passwords. 5700 sMON logs all important events: Application Start and Stop, Acquisition Start and Stop, beginning and ending of radiological alarms, failure events, muting, change of thresholds, change of configuration settings.The graphic interface presents four management windows: Main, Parameters, Command and Graphics. Every one of these has virtual keys and selectors available for user friendly access to the functions.
The RDBMS version also acts as a Network Server providing data simultaneously to maximum five 5700 sMON Network Clients. 5700 sMON Clients are able to view real-time and historical data, view important events such as alarms and failures, and interact with some parameters of the monitors through the Server.
