Hi all.
Is this correct place to ask a question around here? I tried the skype page but nobody was online.
Anyway, if it is the correct place here is my question. I want to know the oldest version of boinc I can run under Windows XP that is able to do this strange usb thing. I am using v6.10.60 but no stats are showing up and I don't see anywhere where I can manually determine the usb port.

The app will probably run on any version 6.x, perhaps even 5.10+ (not tested I think).
USB sensor is auto detected if it's present, the port number does not matter.

Ok, I', running 6.10.60. The data.bin file is as follows:

Is that good? Because I do not understand how to get a history plot out of boinc. What is each column? Seems like bad data to me.
Also, what does the black button do.

The output looks good.
You'll find your host on map http://radioactiveathome.org/map/, but you have to set the location first (I think the server has sent the instruction via email already).

Thanks. The middle column is time. What are the other columns? More specifically, which column is the radioactivity? Do you have to do a subtraction to get the derivative?
I got the email but no, I disconnected it because I got a complaint about the noise and I was unsure that usb is actually working. I guess I'm a skeptic. I now am thinking if I just subtracted the #s it might make more sense.

The first column is 'hardware timestamp' it is in microseconds.
The second column is pulse counter.
To get the uSv/h you have to calculate difference between two rows, divide the number of pulses by time in minutes and then divide the result by 171 (for sensors using SBM-20 or STS-5).
"769" and "81327870" are sensor hardware/software IDs.
