ACHTUNG: Diese App erfordert einen Geigerzähler
ВНИМАНИЕ: это приложение требует счетчик Гейгера
ATTENTION: Cette application nécessite un compteur Geiger
Geiger Bot is a simple companion app for older analog-only Geiger counters. Using your device's microphone, it turns the Geiger counter's clicks or beeps into a count per minute (CPM) reading. This allows you to get a relative numeric reading with older Geiger counters. Normal background levels are usually 30-60 CPM.
CPM can be used as a relative gauge to compare levels of radioactivity. The longer the app runs, the more accurate the reading. This is best used for comparing low-level radiation sources to background radiation-- for example, bananas.
For best results, the Geiger counter's speaker and the iOS device's microphone should be close as possible, in a quiet environment.
The app has two modes: integration, and pulse. In integration mode, the CPM is calculated from the total counts observed and the elapsed time running. Pulse mode is switchable between 5 and 15 second intervals, and computes the CPM from only the last 5 or 15 seconds, respectively. This is more suitable for changing levels of radioactivity, but is less accurate. There is also a "zero" button to reset all counters.
New in version 1.1.1: Conversion to mR/h, uSv/h. Set the conversion factor for your tube and the isotope source. (usually gamma-only)
The conversion factor is the number of counts per second equal to 1 mR/h.
Kvarts DRSB-22 (SBM-20) tube:
- Co-60 source: 22 CPS = 1 mR/h
- Ra-226 source: 29 CPS = 1 mR/h
CDV-700:
- Co-60 source: 10 CPS = 1 mR/h
1.3: Graphing, settings screen, standard deviation, GPS location
1.3.2: iPad support. Graph zoom. Localization improvements. Better display navigation on iPhone. 2nd graph now shows RMS power.
1.3.3: Adaptive audio engine -- no need to configure settings, just give it a few seconds to adapt. Better graphing, performance, iPad wallpapers.
1.3.4:
- dosimeter (double-tap zero to clear)
- iPad wallpaper improvements ...More

Counts the clicks like an accountant!

First, to Maxi Lu: You need a geiger counter to use this app. This is not one of those silly "fool your friends" fake geiger counter apps. It counts the clicks on a real geiger counter.That said, it works great! At least on my digital geiger counter it does. It counts the clicks with perfect precision. It does not need complete quiet either. You can be talking and it'll still give a correct count. I only tried it on background radiation of 12 CPM avg, so I can't say how well it works if you're in a dangerous radiation area. :')The developer releases frequent updates adding new features, also. I gotta try the new "experimental mode" that purports to count other things like the RPM of a fan!I think there's only one other app like this in the app store, and this one blows it away.
