Spectra are exported using the "Share" command, accessed through the dropdown menus in the "Spectrum" and "View" tabs, as well as in the spectra library window.

Two formats are supported: .xml (default) and .csv. Both formats are compatible with poular software. You can choose the export format in the spectrum settings.

An XML file can simultaneously include both a spectrum and a background, containing all relevant information such as names, number of channels, spectrum accumulation time, calibration factors, and the serial number of the device used to capture the spectrum and background. This format is self-sufficient and does not require additional steps from the user during import; XML files can be imported directly from instant messaging apps too.

A csv file is a text file with a .csv extension that can be used not only with the BecQ monitor (or other software for monitoring), but also with other applications due to the simplicity of its format. Only pairs of values ”channel number, number of pulses” are written to the file. In the spectrum settings, you can choose which separator to use - comma or semicolon. The file name is formed as “Spectrum_<Current date/time>_<Accumulation time in seconds>s.csv”, for example, Spectrum_2021-05-12_13-53-55_1426s.csv. When importing csv file into application RadiaCode a window is displayed where it is proposed to enter the spectrum name, the accumulation time (if it was not possible to determine it from the file name), as well as the serial number of the device, on which the spectrum was taken, and the calibration factors. It is possible to indicate to the application that the imported spectrum was taken with the currently connected device - for this there is a special button “Copy factors and serial number from the device”.

You can also export multiple spectra at once as a zip archive.

The RadiaCode application is registered on the smartphone as a handler for files with .xml and .csv extensions. When you tap a file with a .xml or .csv extension in any other Android application, Radiacode will appear in the “Open with...” list. If you open the file with our app, the spectrum will be imported into the spectrum library, and you will be prompted to set the import parameters for the spectrum.

You can also import a spectrum using the button . The system file picker opens.
