Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for simulating proximity detection of physical effects, the system including an external probe; a base unit associated with the external probe via a connector, the base unit comprising at least one processor coupled to the connector, the at least one processor configured to compute results based on an input received from the external probe; an input device; and a graphical display unit configured to display at least one of the computed results from the at least one processor and the input received from the input device and input received from the external probe.
Claims20
A system for simulating proximity detection of physical effects, the system comprising:
- an external probe;
- and
- a base unit associated with the external probe via a connector, the base unit comprising:
- at least one processor coupled to the connector, the at least one processor configured to compute results based on an input received from the external probe;
- an input device;
- and
- a graphical display unit configured to display at least one of the computed results from the at least one processor and the input received from the input device and input received from the external probe.
A method of simulating radiation, comprising:
- using a probe to detect a fluorescent material;
- calculating a proximity of the probe and detected fluorescent material as a simulated unit of simulated radiation;
- and
- displaying the calculated simulated unit of simulated radiation as an amount of simulated radiation.
A simulated source check module, comprising:
- a housing configured to accept an external probe;
- a permanent magnet coupled to the housing and emitting a magnetic field for probe insertion detection, and
- a simulated contamination sample within the housing.
An apparatus for simulating proximity detection of physical effects, the apparatus comprising:
- a probe;
- at least one processor coupled to the probe, the at least one processor computing results based on input received from the probe;
- an input device;
- a graphical display unit configured to display at least one of the computing results from the at least one processor and input received from the input device and input received from the external probe;
- and
- a power source coupled to the at least one processor and graphical display unit.
