# RadexReader
The RadexReader is an user-space driver for the [RADEX RD1212 v1/v2](https://quartarad.com/product-category/radiation-detector/) and the [RADEX ONE](https://quartarad.com/product-category/radiation-detector/) Geiger counters. It allow to read and clear stored data via USB. Warning! This tool is completely unrelated with QuartaRad.
This tool was initially developed with RD1212 v2.48.
