EDS Acquisition
Probe for EPMA supports EDS spectrum acquisition on a variety of EDS hardware interfaces for combined WDS and EDS acquisition. The EDS Spectrum Intensity acquisition acquires the complete spectrum for each analysis (standard and unknown samples) and saves it to the probe data file to allow the user to add or change elements calculated from EDS at any time after the data is acquired.
Note that the EDS count time can be set to use the EDS application “preset” time, or a user specified count time. These count time parameters are saved in probe database files with version numbers after v. 6.32.
