It reports itself as [b]GMC-800Re2.00[/b], and is [b]incompatible[/b] with previous versions of GeigerLog and RadPro! GeigerLog has now been adapted; its latest version is available as a pre-release on GeigerLog's development site. Use pre08 or later: https://sourceforge.net/p/geigerlog/discussion/devel2/ The use of a new microchip raises hopes for getting fast performance. Well, the opposite was the case! For the first time ever I had in insert [b]delays (!)[/b] at various stages of the GeigerLog code, just to accomododate this one counter. Imagine, even the old GQ clunkers GMC-300 were faster! Adapting RadPro might take a bit longer; GQ has resorted to grinding off all labels on the chips, which does throw a few extra wrenches into anyone's attempts to create alternative firmware.

The picture shows the outcome for a Poisson test for FET=5 in the top pic. This is supposed to look like the bottom pic, which is the History read out from the very same GMC-800Re2.00. The data are there; they are just ruined by GQ's infamous algorithm ! [img]uploaded/ullix/20260704060525Selection_042.png[/img] Draw your own conclusions.
