Compensation for Gamma background is crucial in tritium measurement, since a gamma field of 1mR/Hr will generate 500 times the ionization generated in 1µCi/m³ of tritium. Tyne designed the four, 250 cc ion –chambers in a cruciform with each chamber connected to an ultra sensitive electrometer amplifier and filter. All signals pass through the ADC converter, and the micro-processor calculates and displays the tritium value. To cover high ranges of tritium a separate small ion chamber is used. Measurements such as flow from the solid-state flowmeter and chamber temperature are also monitored by the micro-processor. 对γ背景的补偿是氚测量的关键，因为1 mR/HR的伽玛场产生的电离量是1 mI/m氚电离的500倍。TYNE设计了四，250毫升离子室在一个十字形，每个室连接到一个超灵敏的静电计放大器和滤波器。所有信号通过ADC转换器，微处理器计算并显示氚值.为了覆盖高范围的氚，使用了一个单独的小离子室。测量结果，如来自固态流量计的流量和室内温度，也由微处理器进行监测。
