This is easily done by noting the counts an every minute and subtracting the previous count. The counter will keep adding just as odometer in a car adds what you have driven. So that you can plot a value for t=0, we will actually start our data at t=-1 minute. This will not change our results at all because we can start the counting anywhere we want – the shape of the will still be the same because the time constant is a fixed value for a given radioactive material. When you have generated a list of the activity as a function of time, do not forget to adjust this number by deducting the background count for each value because it would not be fair leaving it in.
