decoding the flag,unit and event data

[davidcarlsonSEE]

As the data comes in the real time data is decoded with a python struct. real_time_flags is part of that data.

I can trigger the real_time_flags to change value by moving my source to NoAlarm, Alarm1, Alarm2 which seems to correspond to real_time_flags value of 0, 8, and 9. Again that is an assumption during my testing.
Q1. Is there a way to know what the real_time_flags values mean?

A1. I don't know that

[davidcarlsonSEE]

I'm trying to verify my guess on what the unit value from the configuration means.
I read this for DoseRate: I/System.out: MaxVal=50e3 [[[CHN_DoseRate]]] Id=4 Sensor=c10_CsI_C30035 Unit=" R/h| Р/ч" ScaledUnit=1

I'm the R in " R/h" means Roentgen. Question. What does the P in " Р/ч" mean. I'm assuming scale.

Also I have tried changing the unit on the device to Sieverts to see if the unit in configuration changes to " Sv/h" but it did not.
So I'm assuming that the unit change on the device only changes how the data is displayed.
Any thoughts on that?

R/h = Roentgen/hour, Р/ч = Рентген/час (same in Russian)

Спасибо ;-)

I'm going to assume that the R/h lowest common unit is micro R expressed as: µR/hr And when the value goes above 999 it scales up to milli R "mR/hr"

Flags have complicated structure depends on all alarms and other feature flags. Without official documentation you couldn't solve that issue.

[davidcarlsonSEE]

After hundreds of tests these flag values seem to hold.

switch(flags)
        {
            case 66: return "Red";
            case 65: return "Yellow";
            default: return "Green";
        }
