Corium. Fire up an serial terminal program on your counter and post a few lines of output. Bert490 could be on to something! If he's right I should be able to get it working right fairly easily.

It is sensible to set the geiger counter counting period similar to RadLog. So set the geiger counter to 60 seconds. 30 seconds also works great, 4 seconds just seems wrong.
Is there a specific purpose for choosing 4 second counting period? 30s or 60s is a lot more practical, and stops spurious warnings and alerts from quick successions of detections.
I could add a tickbox to disable 0 CPM warnings?

Make alert when GC sending zeros longer than 30 seconds.

I agree that a 4 second sample is much too fast for a valid radiation reading. The inherent random behavior of radiation means there will always be bursts, and you do not want a logging type of detector generating an alarm for 100 CPM due to 5 clicks in 4 seconds; that happens often enough with normal background levels. Fast reaction might be needed for locating a point source with a handheld portable unit, where audible clicks or a faster time setting like 4 seconds lets the alarm come on to locate something, but to actually measure the true radiation level requires a longer sample time at the same location.

"....100 CPM due to 5 clicks in 4 seconds." That wont happen if the data being sent is the actual 1 minute moving average gathered at 4 second intervals.
Still, I think 4 second updates makes for an unnecessarily data heavy chart for long term background monitoring.
