Abstract

A novel Plug and Play Geiger-Muller detector for environmental monitoring is reported that allows the integration and automatic configuration of Geiger-Muller detectors in a network containing heterogeneous sensors. A new Transducer Electronic Data Sheet for Geiger-Muller detector complying with the IEEE 1451.4 standard has been implemented to interface radiation detectors according to Plug and Play. The electronic specifications for Geiger-Muller detectors developed in this article are based on the newly proposed transducer template and modification of the standard calibration table template. Proposed templates may also be used for other types of radiation detectors with pulse output. To illustrate the Plug and Play capability with Geiger-Muller detectors, the details of detector implementation are included.
