### Detection Methods:
- **General Testing Methods:** Place the device against the testing object, wait for 60 seconds (4 cycles), and ensure the readings stabilize. For marble radiation testing, the recommended testing time is 5 minutes; check the average values afterward.
- **Iodine-131 Test:** Place the device near the patient’s affected area. Wait about 1 minute and check the real-time value.
- **Ambient Radiation Test:** Place the device 1 meter above the ground, avoiding beta radiation from the ground. Conduct testing in open spaces for 5 minutes and observe the average readings on the display.
- **Radiation Source Search:** Switch the display to the histogram interface and scan the object near the back of the device. Observe the graphical display and listen for alarm sounds.
- **DR/X-ray Leakage Test:** Observe the device's instant readings when exposed to radiation.

   - Displays firmware version and PCB (Printed Circuit Board) model.
   - Accessible by:
     - Starting the device for the first time.
     - Pressing the "ClearData" button 30 times continuously and restarting.

2. **Real-Time CPM Function (Counts Per Minute)**
   - Real-time display of radiation particles per minute for accurate monitoring.
   - Includes a 3-minute moving average for better trend analysis.
   - Features a 15-second timer for quick measurements.

3. **Statistical Functions**
   - **Contact**: Counts the number of radiation exposure events (alarm triggers).
   - **Exp.Time**: Tracks the total duration of radiation exposure.

4. **Inst.val Instant Retention**
   - Retains peak radiation moments with a 1-second statistical interval.

# How to Burn Firmware in the Future?

We use GD32 chips, so first download the corresponding burning software.

- **Burning software**: GigaDevice_MCU_ISP_Programmer_V3.0.2.5782
- **Firmware**: HEX file V4.3.0.hex
- **Serial port driver**: CH340E serial port chip driver

## Preparations for Updating:

1. Connect the device to a Windows system computer via USB first.
2. Launch the GigaDevice_MCU_ISP_Programmer.
3. First, press and hold the "upper" button without releasing it. After a few milliseconds, use another finger to simultaneously press and hold the "middle" button. Make sure the "upper" button is pressed before the "middle" button. Keep both buttons pressed simultaneously. This will allow the device to enter the Bootloader burning mode, and a black square will appear on the screen. This indicates that the device has entered burning mode. If the black square does not appear on the screen, repeat the process.
4. In the software, select the corresponding serial port number. The number of the serial port corresponding to CH340E. After that, proceed to the next step and go to the firmware selection page.
5. If the flash page is locked, first click to unlock it, then return to the initial screen. After that, repeat the burning steps.

## Important Notes:

- During the entire burning process, do not release the power button (especially when the progress bar is scrolling) until the burning is complete. This is necessary to prevent unexpected power loss, which may lead to errors and damage to the device.
