本标准规定了用于国土安全应用的辐射测量仪器输出所需和可选数据的数据格式。此类辐射测量仪器的性能要求见其他标准，如ANSI N42。32，ANSI N42。33，ANSI N42。34，ANSI N42。35，ANSI N42。38，ANSI N42。43，ANSI N42。48，ANSI N42。49A和ANSI N42。53 输出包括测量数据和辐射测量仪器进行的任何分析的结果。 本标准不涉及仪器控制、数据传输协议或用于通信的物理介质。

This standard specifies the data format that shall be used for both required and optional data available at the output of radiation measurement instruments that are used for homeland security applications. The performance requirements for these types of radiation measurement instruments are described in other standards such as ANSI N42.32, ANSI N42.33, ANSI N42.34, ANSI N42.35, ANSI N42.38, ANSI N42.43, ANSI N42.48, ANSI N42.49A, and ANSI N42.53. The output consists of measurement data and results of any analysis performed by the radiation measurement instrument. This standard does not address instrument control, data transmission protocols, or the physical media used for communications.
