Abstract
A data logger for the manual type BARC TLD reader has been developed f or connecting the TLD reader to an IBM PC/XT for a direct transfer of data, evaluation and preparation of radiation dose reports. The microp rocessor controlled data logger has features like low or high resoluti on glow curve storage, storage of dosimetric data along with the ident ification numbers of about 300 dosimeters, RS-232 serial interface for connection to a PC and a built-in hand shake software to facilitate c onnection of two or more data loggers to a PC. The data loggers are in use with TLD readers for personnel monitoring in a number of centres in India. The hardware and software details of the data logger are dis cussed.
