Output Wavescan Spectrum Image (Lispix Format)
A new capability is the output of Lispix format spectrum image data files including the .RPL parameter file. Note that this feature will output each complete WDS sample (including “continued” samples) as a single pixel in the data hyper-cube. Therefore the program will output all wavescan samples in a single probe run as a complete spectrum image.
Because Lispix expects the data in a rectangular array, be sure that samples correspond to WDS data acquired from a rectangular array of gridded wavescan points. Because the user will need to specify the X and Y grid array coordinate dimensions it will be necessary for the number of data rows and columns be noted, for example in the sample name or description fields, and be sure that the “Stagger The Grid Points” option was NOT used for the digitization of the stage coordinates so that an orthogonal grid is produced.
Generally because each wavescan represents only a single pixel, it is generally preferred that the entire probe run be devoted to a single WDS spectrum image. With the current limit of 9999 samples per run that limits the Lispix spectrum image to 9999 wavescans or pixels or a grid of such wavescans of almost 100 x 100 pixels.
