Mean Radon Concentration
Whether you are measuring Rn concentrations in a home or workplace, Radon Vision 8 gives you the tools to measure and extract meaningful Rn measurements. Obtaining a mean and the statistical errors over a whole measurement campaign can be done easily and without interrupting the measurement. The data can be downloaded while a measurement is taking place by connecting the instrument to the computer, starting Radon Vision 7 and pressing CTRL+G. After the data is downloaded, the whole measurement curve can be selected with SHIFT+double-click. This automatically shows the mean and error for the measurement. A report can be generated directly from here and exported to the Excel format.
Radon Vision With Selected Measurement Windows For Calculating Rn Mean and Statistical Errors
Selecting Measurement Periods by Room Use
If you are measuring Rn concentrations in a workplace or school environment, then chances are you will want to only measure radon concentrations relevant to the time the site is in use. Selecting recurring subsets of the measurement campaign can be easily done using Outlook, Gmail, Thunderbird calendars or any other app capable of exporting .ics files. Using a school and Outlook as an example, the school calendar can be populated using the recurring meeting function in Outlook and setting the days and times of recurrence. Exporting these meeting times as a .ics file they can then be loaded into Radon Vision 7 to have the software automatically select the relevant times and days in the measurement campaign. The software will then calculate the radon concentration mean and errors only from the selected areas, giving an accurate picture of the exposure to staff and students.

Open and Evaluate Multiple Data Files
Radon Vision 7 allows you to open multiple files from the same instrument making it possible to calculate exposure even if different measurement campaigns are performed. The combined measurements can then be saved as a single file that Radon Vision 7 can subsequently open and evaluate again if necessary. This feature is useful if data is acquired in several measurement lots (e.g. monthly read-outs over a year).
Summary
Radon Vision is a versatile software that makes radon exposure calculations easy even under complex measurement circumstances. With the ability to import calendar entries to set measurement windows, even the most complex exposure scenarios are made easy.
