When the output of the X-ray detector 11 and the gamma-ray detector 11 for measuring the X-ray and the gamma-ray sources are pulse signals, the staff engaged in the nuclear radiation monitoring selects the simulation device of the second embodiment to train under the passive condition, and connects the selection switch 14 with the output end of the voltage-frequency conversion module 15 to simulate the measurement process of the X-ray and the gamma-ray, and the specific simulation measurement method comprises the following steps:
