These lines are used to set the individual default PHA settings for the baseline, window, gain and bias on the different spectrometer and crystal basis. These crystal based parameter values replace the older default PHA settings in lines 24-27. The older values are still read and used as defaults for backward compatibility.
You only need to enter values for as many crystals as you have for each spectrometer (up to six crystals per spectrometer). The range of allowable values is the same as the PHA parameters for lines 24-27.

These lines are used to set the individual default PHA settings for the inte/diff mode and deadtime on the different spectrometer and crystal basis. These crystal based deadtime parameter values replace the older default settings in line 13.
This is mainly for non-Cameca microprobes where there is no deadtime pulse stretching electronics and the instrument may benefit from individual deadtime values for each crystal (energy range). The older deadtime values are still read and used as defaults for backward compatibility if these new values are zero.
There was no default inte/diff mode previously so the default inte/diff mode is zero (integral mode).

This section allows the user to specify whether any crystals are of the large area type. This flag applies only to the Cameca SX100/SXFive and is only used to properly set the correct index for crystal flipping. Two crystal spectrometer use indices 1 and 4 unless they are of the large area type in which case they use indices 2 and 4.
To indicate that a crystal is of the large area type edit the flag to be a non zero value for each large area crystal. Note that the Cameca very large area crystals are always index 1 and there is only one crystal per spectrometer (it cannot be flipped).
