Adding a Library Item
Adding a custom library item involves performing a
library scan. A library scan is just like a regular scan
except that it collects more data and so requires more
time to complete.
The scale below the scan progress bar indicates the
quality level that the scan has reached at a given point
in time.
For the highest quality data, let the scan run until the
green bar reaches the High marker.
If a scan is taking a very long time to run, you may
press the Enter key to halt the scan at a lower level of
scan quality.
NOTE
Your scan will only be as good as your sample.
Crush solids or powders in a mortar, to a fine
and even consistency. Prepare the sample in a
clean area, and guard against contamination.
NOTE
Always use the sample crusher to perform a
library scan of a powder or a solid.
