I could find nothing in the user manual version 1.3 for the 600+ that explains what these two menu items are for and what they do “ Accuracy display” and “Fast Estimate Time”. I really appreciate it if these could be explained to me as to what their functions are and how they work.
I just received my 600+ yesterday so I am a new user. Previous devices were a CDV-700 and a Black Cat Systems GM-10
Thanks, Bob |

I don't know what the "Accuracy display" means, but for the "Fast estimate" thing I point you the chapter "Fast Estimate Time (FET) CAUTION !" in the GeigerLog manual, and suggest to stay away from ever using it, i.e. keep its setting on 60 sec!

| Hi Bobakman, the fast estimate time uses the set seconds to estimate counts per minute(CPM). The accuracy display depends on the set seconds used in calculating CPM. |

Thank you for explaining this.

Accuracy Display is the plus or minus 5% you see in this screen in the upper right corner just below the battery icon. I guess this is GQ implementation of showing how accurate are the readings are... Ullix don't laugh!

| I think it's an estimate of the likely average error that can be made empirically or calculated. for example 80% chance of being within a error range of +/- 5%. in this case we can only define things like that. |

| It indicates how fast the estimate time is when calculating CPM. Faster estimate times will have higher +- error. the 5% error is when estimate time is 60seconds(full minute to calculate CPM). |

Sorry, but this sound like some "alternative woke Physics".
Standard deviation of a count rate following Poisson statistics i sqrt(counts). CPM= 90 --> Stdev= 9.5% |

for 90 CPM, Std_dev is 9.5 count not 9.5%. Once normalized this done 10.54% and this falls to +/-4% for a CPM of 600 (the calculations are below).
it may be necessary to take into account the CPM value, but in any case we are only talking about a probable error interval with 68% chance of being with in and 32% chance of being outside. but the value can be interesting.
