Standard for Data Format for Real-Time Streaming from Radiation Detection Instruments

This standard specifies the notation of radiation data and some non-radiation data that is streamed digitally in real-time from a radiation detection instrument to a receiving device (e.g., smartphone or tablet). ISO/IEC 8824-1 Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) is used for specifying the format of the data to be streamed. The standard addresses both lower-bandwidth transmission, corresponding to instruments that generate data on the order of several kilobit per second (kb/s), and higher-bandwidth transmission. The radiation data consist mainly of raw or unprocessed data, but other data such as precise time, dosimetric data, device parameters and settings applicable to the further display, processing, or analysis of the data may be streamed as well. Data format for commands from the receiving device to the measurement instrument is not part of this standard. This standard does not address data format for visual data (e.g. photos, videos), for radiation imagers or LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging, or Laser Imaging, Detection, And Ranging). The transmission protocol is not part of the standard, although some general transmission rules recommendations are provided. The subsequent display, processing, and analysis of the radiation data on the receiving device are outside the scope of this standard. The standard does not address the transmission media, receipt, and later transmission of data to a larger and distant network or how the data is used and processed on the receiving device.

Other Activities From This Working Group

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


No Active Projects

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.


No Inactive-Reserved Standards
