EPMA Probe

 

Standard Menu Details > File

Open

The Open menu allows the user to select an existing Probe for EPMA standard database file to add or modify standard composition data. The program will check that the specified file is of the correct format and warn the user if not. Probe for EPMA generally uses a file extension of .MDB for its standard database file.

 

The default standard database is STANDARD.MDB and this file is automatically accessed by Probe for EPMA for quantitative calculations. Although the user may create as many additional standard composition databases as desired, Probe for EPMA uses only the STANDARD.MDB file in the C: \ProgramData\Probe Software\Probe for EPMA directory for analysis of unknown samples.
