Current measurement automation through VA-J-51 vibrating-reed electrometer (in German)
Ionizing radiation measurement by means of ionization chambers as a rule yields current intensities ranging between 10/sup -8/ and 10/sup -14/ A. They can be measured by means of vibrating-reed electrometers, making use of the charging method. A stable working automatic arrangement is described by which two triggers and several commercial instruments renders possible convenient amperage measurements. The measured value of scattering caused by trigger variation and other factors ranges only two or three per mille, which fact may be fully utilized particularly with relative amperage measurement. The accuracy of amperage measurement itself mostly depends on the sensitivity of the vibrating- reed electrometer. (auth)
