3.3.6 Loading and Saving Spectra
The RADEAGLET always stores the spectrum in two formats: the IAEA spectrum format *.spe and
the ANSI N42.42 standardized *.n42 format. Both formats have advantages. *.spe features a simple
interface for exchanging spectra and is highly compatible with many international software products.
*.n42 has become the world-wide standard for spectrum files and the list of supporting programs is
growing steadily.
To store a spectrum press SAVE . To reload a spectrum, press LOAD . The RADEAGLET can store up to
1 million spectra. Each record contains the associated nuclide identification result.
The filename is a unique specifier of the spectrum and is composed as follows:
YYYY-MM-
DDThh_mm_ss_INDEX . It starts with an ISO compatible date time string, followed by a unique index.
Each index is used only once. The spectrum with a given index, as shown in Figure 20 , p. 29 , can always
be recovered by searching for this number at the end of a filename.
Once you press LOAD , you can restore the spectrum from the internal memory. Press NEXT to navigate
through the list of saved spectra. Press SELECT to load the blue marked spectrum file. Via SPECTRUM ,
you can return to the spectrum at any time. Figure 21 , p. 30 is an example of the selection screen and
its buttons.
3.3.7 Changing the x-Axis: Toggling Between Energy and Channel Display
The spectrum can be displayed using two different x-axis units: a) based on the MCA channels [ch] and
b) based on the energy [keV].
