Automation Actions
The automation "actions" desired to be run are to be selected here. The program will execute each automation action for all selected samples in the order listed. Any combination of automation actions may be selected by the user.
Use the Confirm actions to simply confirm the position coordinates of the selected samples and the Acquire actions to actually acquire the data for the selected samples. To confirm positions and/or acquire data for both standards and unknown position samples, select the All Samples option and select the standards and unknowns desired. If a confirm action was selected, the program will ignore the setting of the Use Confirm During Acquisition for the confirmation of positions.
Use the "Acquire Standard Samples (again)" if it is desired to run the standards AFTER the unknown or wavescan samples have been run; of course this assumes that the specified standard mounts will still be present in the sample holder inside the instrument.
To use the Peak Spectrometers action, click the “Peaking” button to select the elements to peak on. If the Calibrate on Assigned Standards check box is checked the program will only peak the element on the assigned standard. if the Calibrate on Assigned Standards check box is not checked the program will attempt to peak on the first standard that it finds a sufficient peak to background ratio until all elements have been peaked.
If the Peak Spectrometers action was checked, the program will cease the automation process if one or more of the elements selected for peaking did not peak properly rather than continue any selected acquisition actions.
