Condition: Used

This RTI Electronics Barracuda wireless X-ray multimeter system has been tested and is fully functional. Cosmetic imperfections are present but do not affect performance. The Barracuda Cabinet (v1.1.4), MPD detector (v1.2.3), and R100 dose probe have all been updated to the latest firmware versions using RTI software.

The included Palm TRG Pro 8022A PDA has been updated and QABrowser software installed, however due to its age it may run into memory issues. Removing the PDA batteries for more than a few seconds will result in data loss and the device will need to be resynchronised. The PDA is only required for standalone operation — the instrument can be fully used with the included RTI Ocean software on a PC.

All required software is included on a USB flash drive for Windows. The correct software installation order is: Palm Desktop → QA Browser → CDM2136620 FTDI Drivers → DVR_WINX64 (if needed) → RTI2017.8C (firmware updates only, installs Ocean 2014 which is not compatible with the Barracuda) → Ocean 2013 (the correct version for use with the Barracuda cabinet). Ocean software should be run in Windows 7 compatibility mode on Windows 10 and above to prevent crashes. A software licence is required for full use and can be acquired from RTI, with a 45-day trial period available.

• RTI Barracuda Cabinet v1.1.4
