Display Integrated Intensities
This menu will display plots of the standard and unknown integrated intensity acquisitions (see check box in the Elements/Cations dialog).
This data is then fitted to a cubic spline peak fit and the integrated intensity is calculated and subtracted from the fitted background and used for quantitative calculations where the peak shape and/or position changes due to changes valance bond or coordination. This is particularly true for low energy lines involving the outer x-ray shells.
All off-peak options may be used with the integrated intensity option. The reported integrated intensities are in units of counts per second times spectrometer units divided by the spectrometer unit range (cps per second per spectrometer unit).
If an element is acquired using the integrated intensity option, the standard intensities for that element must also be acquired using the integrated option and preferably using the same off-peak range.
This acquisition method is very slow and usually the APF method is preferred unless APF values are not available for the analyzed elements.
