Cosmic Ray Detector Files
For anyone who wants / needs the files for the cosmic ray detector, here they are in one handy zip file (zip is in .rar format). Included are the following:
1) EQUIP (user interface for the detector) as zip file - no installation required; just unzip and go.
2) rxtxserial.dll - a small file needed for people running 64 bit Java on their computer - replace the old file in the EQUIP folder with this one.
2) SiLabs software driver for the DAQ USB connection - installation required; you may need administrator privileges for this. Both Windows 7/8/10 and Windows XP versions are included.
3) Plateauing Instructions - both the PPT instructions and the Excel spreadsheet for entering data are included.
