3. Detector installation

To get the best performance from detectors for a given application, you need to use the right radiation observation method, polarization, matching and amplification circuits, and instruments (ammeter, oscilloscope, etc.).

3.1 DC measurements

Where the signal level is high (e.g. electrical signal power in excess of 10 -15 W), and for laboratory work of short duration, simple observation methods can generally be used, based on the basic equipment found in most physics laboratories: galvanometers, electronic voltmeters, resistor boxes, oscilloscopes, etc.

By way of example, figure
