FISCHERSCOPE ® X-RAY 207
Overview
1 Overview
The WinFTM ® ( F ischer T hickness M anagement Software for Win dows ® ) software controls the in-
strument and handles the evaluation of the signals supplied by the instrument.
The measured values (coating thickness, material compositions, mass per unit area) are stored and
displayed on the monitor. Using WinFTM, you can conveniently design the measurement results as
a print form for printout and export them to other applications.
WinFTM runs under Windows ® .
1.1 WinFTM Versions: BASIC and LIGHT
WinFTM is available in two versions: BASIC and LIGHT. The versions differ in the number of meas-
urable elements, see the following table:
1.2 WinFTM Extensions: PDM and SUPER
For both WinFTM versions BASIC and LIGHT the extensions PDM (Product Data Management) and
SUPER are available. The features the extensions are described in the following table:
The usage of the SUPER software requires deep knowledge of the physics of x-ray fluorescence and
the functionality of the instrument.
Alternatively, you can request a new measurement application from FISCHER. FISCHER offers a
professional service for the creation of customer’s Def.MA.
