Quick Standard Modes

You select one of two “quick standard modes for automation. The first mode (acquire only assigned standards) will only acquire those elements in the standards that are actually assigned as standards, MAN backgrounds or interference standards. Normally this is used to save acquisition time after the appropriate standards and other assignments have been made. The second mode will acquire all elements in the standards that are present above the minimum quick standard level as specified by the user (between 0.1 and 100 percent). Therefore zero or minor element concentrations in the standards will generally not be acquired.

 

In both cases if no elements in a particular standard are determined valid for quick standard acquisition, then all elements in that standard will be acquired.
