Modify

This menu item allows the user to modify an existing standard name or composition without re-entering all the element symbols and concentrations. The user must enter the compositional changes in elemental or oxide weight percent when modifying an existing standard composition. Simply click on the element row in the grid to pull up the Enter Composition dialog. Enter the indicated elemental or oxide weight percent and click OK to save the changes.

This window may also be used to temporarily change the default x-ray line and cations for a specific standard for calculation purposes. This is often useful to explore the effect on the k-ratios of various operating voltages or selection of alternative x-ray lines.
