iMetry - Geiger Counter/Gamma Ray Spectrometry
Overview
iMetry system is low cost but extreme sensitive pocketsize moblie gamma ray spectrometry, Photon Counter(MPPC) based hyper sensitive scintillation geiger counter, radiation detector system specialized for I131/Cs134/Cs137 survey, used with all generations of iPads. Its extra ordinal sensitivity, powered by Photon Counter, ease of use, will fully satisfy all needs of casual radiation measurement applications, and is a must have item to survive this age. The most important feature is, iMetry is affordable, portable and ease of use. You can have in your bag, or you can have your own in your bookshelf, and you can prepare. At the the moment required, you can check enviroment spectrum instantly by your self, to decide yourself whether if you need action or not. So, at the moment, one of the only item that you can rely on would be iMetry. iMetry will also helps you to decide when to be back. Let's prepare for the future now. To make it work together, iMetry system requires iMetry: the detector module itsself, special audio cable included, iPad, its special dedicated application: iMetry, and external micro-B USB power supply.
Energy Compensation is supported.[#ECsupport]
Energy compensation support is committed from the beginning to support, without any hardware change. It took very long time, to support energy compensation, and software uodates, to meet with recent iOS version.
By recent software update, energy compensation is supported.
No hardware change is required, so all the customter who have iMetry unit from the first release benefits with this software updates.
Using provided previous calibration sheet, that compensates Cs137 based calibration to meet with background radiation level, the provided previous sheet is adopted simply discounting calibration value from Cs 137 based one to 70% value.
To use previous provided calibration value with new application, please check calibration dose setting to check (100% ,70%) selector to switch to %70.
This interprets inputed dose calibration value is 70% of Cs 137 based calibration value, to meet with previous simple compensation just to meet background value, just discounting 70%.
EC(Energy Compensation) enabled measurement mode, provides more precise dose measurement than ever, without any change of sensor hardware, just with software updates.

iMetry - Spectrometry/Geiger counter main unit
- Refer to official page for details.
- When used in combination with an iPad application, iMetry can take radiation dose measurement and basic radiation spectrometry.
- iMetry is powered through USB.(USB power supply must be prepared separately)
- When iMetry detects radiation, red LED blinks at according brightness. If you get used to iMetry, you may be able to guess nuclear species with the way of LED blinking, aside from practicality ;-)
- While usual radiation meters may show unstable values, iMetry, being 10~100 times more sensitive than radiation meters of the same class, and with much longer moving average window (MAX 1 hour), easily converge to stable value by measurement time.
iMetry App
- Official iPad Apps
- iMetry Lite(FREE)and iMetry(¥1,000) are available.
- FREE version has measurement time limitation(15 minutes)
- Paid version has spectrum data saving and CSV data export features.
- iMetry App is not necessarily iMetry main unit exclusive, but officially supports RadAngel, may (with luck) work with other radiation meters or spectrometers with audio output.
Spectrometry application unofficial compatibility reports
- iMetry application works (with luck) with other radiation meters or spectrometers with audio output. There are unconfirmed reports of a hand-made detector, Chappy detector, and GS-1100 working with iMetry App. Special cable is required for Chappy detector. There is also a report claims that one can upload data from iMetry App to SPviewer without PC DATA UPLOAD. In cases, as iMetry does not provide header files or alike, one must manually edit files.
- iMetry(App) with A2700:
- Mr. Namururu: Make iMetry work with a hand-made cable, and its wiring
- A case with iRig
- iMetry(App) with PA1000:(Not recommended, as an expensive radiation meter needs to be disassembled)
- @tyoshizawa :Disassembled PA1000 to work with iMetry App
- BecquerelMonitor2011 with iMetry(hardware):
- BecquerelMonitor must be configured individually, but iMetry works without pain. See Soectrometry using iMetry and Beqmoni(in Japanese) for details.
- iMetry unit and MIC input of a PC have to be connected with a market available monaural cable.
- Better to use external USB audio device for noise suppression. iMetry should not be powered from PC, as GND may compose potential loop.
- Tested USB audio device(Arvel HAMU02BK)
- @rikka_so_cuteさん:Measured YASASHIO, potassium chloride added salt, with iMetry and BecquerelMonitor for 10 hours.
