Save Wavescan Samples (based on sample names)

Use this output format to export wavescan sample data to separate tab delimited files. This menu will also prompt to send the data to an Excel spreadsheet. The stage position and relative distance columns vary only if the wavescan stage increment option was utilized.

 

LINE        Line number

X-POS       X stage position

Y-POS       Y stage position

Z-POS       Z stage position

RELDIST     Relative distance (in microns)

On-Peak     On-peak position

Hi-Peak     Hi-peak position

Lo-Peak     Lo-peak position

SPC         Spectrometer position in spectrometer units

ANG         Spectrometer angstroms in angstroms

CPS         Intensity in counts per second

NCPS        Intensity in normalized counts per second (to highest peak)

COUNTS      Intensity in raw counts

KEV         Spectrometer position in keV (includes spectrometer offset)

 

This is the only custom output format for exporting wavescan data.

 

This output option will also output the KLM markers to a .KLM file for each wavescan. This file can be used in conjunction with the supplied Grapher sample data files and template files to produce customized publication quality wavescan graphs:

 

Corning VWX Full Range WDS-Wa   40  Glass 95IRW S1-30.grf   ‘ Grapher plot template

Corning VWX Full Range WDS-Wa   40  Glass 95IRW S1-30.dat   ‘ Wavescan data file

Corning VWX Full Range WDS-Wa   40  Glass 95IRW S1-30.klm  ‘ KLM data file

 

The column format of the file is:

 

LINE        Line number

On-Peak     On-peak position

Hi-Peak     Hi-peak position

Lo-Peak     Lo-peak position

Hi-Wave     High wavescan limit

Lo-Wave     Low wavescan limit

 

Elm-Xray    KLM markers for the wavescan element

Elm-Ord     KLM line orders for the wavescan element

Elm-Spec    KLM spec positions for the wavescan element

Elm-Ang     KLM ang positions for the wavescan element

Elm-Int     KLM relative intensities for the wavescan element

 

Anal-Xray   KLM markers for the “analyzed” wavescan elements

Anal-Ord    KLM orders for the “analyzed” wavescan elements

Anal-Spec   KLM spec positions for the “analyzed” wavescan elements

Anal-Ang    KLM ang positions for the “analyzed” wavescan elements

Anal-Int    KLM relative intensities for the “analyzed” wavescan elements

 

All-Xray    KLM markers for all wavescan elements

All-Ord     KLM line orders for all wavescan elements

All-Spec    KLM spec positions for all wavescan elements

All-Ang     KLM ang positions for all wavescan elements

All-Int     KLM relative intensities for all wavescan elements

 

The On, Hi, Lo, Hi-Wave and Lo-Wave columns are the same for all rows. The “Elm-“ columns are the KLM lines for the element tuned on that spectrometer only (no x-ray lines may appear in these columns if no lines for that element are in the x-ray range of the scan). The “Anal-” columns are the KLM lines for the analyzed (and specified) elements for the wavescan sample only (no x-ray lines may appear in these columns if no lines for the analyzed or specified elements are in the x-ray range of the scan). The “All-“ columns are the KLM lines for all elements in the x-ray range for that wavescan.
