Performing Measurements in the Spectrum Window
Before you start
►
Position the specimen.
You can display and change the measurement parameters for this particular measure-
ment. If you change parameters, the change is valid for this particular measurement only.
The parameters of the current product are not influenced by your change. When you close
the spectrum window, all changes will be discarded that you have made here.
►
To display or change the measurement parameters for this particular measurement,
select in the Spectrum window
View > Meas.-Parameter
.
Procedure
1. To start a measurement, click
.
The measurement runs until you terminate it.
2. To terminate a measurement, click
5.8.2
Determining the Elements of a Sample
Before you start
With this function only solid samples and no coating systems can be analyzed.
Perform a measurement (see Chap. 5.8.1 on Page 34).
Procedure
1. Select in the Spectrum window
View > Elements
.
You can display the extended elements list. To do so, select in the Spectrum window
View > Full element list
.
2. Click into the spectrum window, keep the mouse button pressed and move the cursor
to a peak of the spectrum.
A list of radiation components of one or more elements is displayed on the left next to
the spectrum window.
3. Click in the elements list on one radiation component.
The energy lines associated with this element appear as colored lines in the spectrum
window. You can compare the peaks of the measured spectrum with the superimposed
lines to identify the elements that comprises the sample.
4. Repeat steps 2 to 3 to determine further elements of the sample.
You can change the colors of the spectra and the energy lines. To do so, select in the
spectrum window
View > Color...
.
5.8.3
Energy
The energy distribution contained in the spectrum informs about the composition of the
sample, because each occurring element of the sample reflects the qualitative composi-
tion through its peak position (at the horizontal position specified for this element).
