Def.MA
16.2 Creating a new Def.MA
The creation of a new Def.MA in the thickness mode (see Table 16-1 on Page 127) is described
here. If you create a new Def.MA in another mode, the steps may differ.
Before you start
The WinFTM extension SUPER is activated.
Procedure
1. In the WinFTM main menu select Calibrate > Def.MA new…
>
<Mode, see
see Table 16-1 on Page 127>.
The window Definition of measuring conditions… appears.
2. In the field Label enter an explicit name for the new Def.MA file.
3. In the field located right above select the high voltage and the primary filter (if present). The
high voltage and the primary filter has to fit your measurement task.
Enter the layer composition of your specimen as follows:
Start with the top layer, continue with all other layers and end with the base material (substrate
material) as the last layer.
4. Click New Layer .
The window Definition of Elements New Layer appears.
5. In the area Thickness select an option.
6. In the area Composition select an option.
7. Click Periodic system .
The window Periodic system appears.
8. In the window Periodic system click the element that the layer is composed of.
The element, the percentage and the density are displayed in the lower area of the window
Definition of Elements New Layer.
Component mode For the analysis of specimens, which are not only composed of pure ele-
ments, but also contain chemical compounds (e. g. oxides). WinFTM offers
a list of components, which can be used like elements.
The result display shows the measurement readings of the complete compo-
nents, not only the elements the components are composed of.
Component mode
with balance For the analysis of bulk material (massive specimens), if the specimen can-
not be defined completely by 100 percent and the specimen is not only
composed of pure elements, but also contain chemical compounds (e. g.
oxides).
The result display shows the measurement readings of the complete compo-
nents, not only the elements the components are composed of.
Typical applications: recycling, RoHS, soil specimens, biological specimens
