Selon l'invention, le procédé comprend en outre les étapes suivantes : analyser au moins une propriété, en particulier une courbe d'une intensité dans le temps, du signal de sortie (34) au moyen d'un dispositif d'évaluation (49), effectuer un diagnostic du dispositif de détection (10) au moyen du dispositif d'évaluation (49) sur la base de ladite analyse.
