Abstract:
1. A handheld system for collecting and storing radiation data and position data, comprising: a handheld computer comprising a microprocessor in communication with a storage medium and at least one communications interface; a radiation detector in communication with the handheld computer and interconnected to the at least one communications interface, the radiation detector providing radiation data to the microprocessor; a position detector in communication with the handheld computer and interconnected to the at least one communications interface, the position detector providing position data; and a computer program code disposed in the storage medium and capable of retrieving the radiation data, concurrently retrieving data from the position detector independent of retrieving data from the radiation detector, correlating data from the radiation detector and the position detector, storing the correlated data in the storage medium, and repeating the retrieving of radiation data and position data at intervals, the intervals being selected from the group consisting of time, position, and distance, wherein the correlated data defines a table with respect to position and radiation data at the intervals.
