To save a mask to the current Configuration file, click Save in the Mask Editor window.
Creating and Editing Masks
NOTE –
Analysis and terms masks are automatically saved with the dataset. Datasets are
stored as raw data and processed data. If a mask is applied during analysis, the mask will be
stored with the processed data. When you reopen the dataset, the mask can be reapplied to
the dataset by turning on the mask. Remember that with a detector mask, masked regions of
data are permanently blocked in the raw data.
To create or edit Analysis, Terms or Height Threshold masks:
1 Open a dataset.
2 Select Edit > Edit Masks to access the Mask Editor window (see
Figure E-15
).
To create or edit a Detector Mask:
1 Select Measurement Options > PSI Options .
2 Click the Edit Detector Mask button to open the Detector Mask Editor window.
You can use several cursor tools to create and change the mask. To use cursor tools, first select a
cursor type from the
Cursor menu. Move your cursor to the Mask Editor plot to begin creating a
mask.
For Local (Area) masks, use the Crosshair tool to set an insertion point wherever you click on your
plot. You can also drag to move the cursor point. Once you have an insertion point you can choose to
perform functions to the selected
Point of data, to data Above or Below the cursor, or to data to the
Left or Right of the cursor.
Use the four Area tools to create shapes within the mask area:
•
Rectangle: Press the left mouse button and drag to create a rectangular area.
•
Circle: Press the left mouse button and drag to create a circular area.
•
Ellipse: Press the left mouse button and drag to create an elliptical area.
•
Polygon: Place the mouse pointer over the location of one point on the polygon. Click to set
your starting point, position the cursor and click once for each side you want to create, then
double-click to set the shape in place. A polygon can have up to 50 sides.
After you have created an area, you can move it by holding down the Shift key while clicking and
dragging it with the left mouse button.
NOTE –
By right-clicking in the Mask viewing region, you can select the size and the location
of the mask to be displayed in pixels or in mm.
You can also perform the following functions on an area:
•
Block: Block out sections of data. For example, if you are working with a circular cursor tool
and you select Block , when you click on the Inside button the program will define a mask that
