Global Material Library

introduction to assist the user in identifying potential materials based on the collected spectra, amics has an ever growing spectral reference library many of these spectra are simulations based on the chemistry and density of well known and documented materials to access the global material library and the reference spectra library, use the "classification button in the bottom left hand corner note! these reference spectra are only provided to assist in the identification of materials, and user knowledge is still required to confirm if the matches shown in the global material library are correct the main interface for the global material library is via the five icons located just above the material list global load and update the material list with the global reference library user load and update the material list with the material library from the userstd db file file switch to the loaded database from the "open" command compare perform a chi squared comparison of the selected reference spectra to the global or user library the top ten best matches will be listed in the material list open open an exported amics material library database ( db file) for comparison context menu option in addition to the main icon interface, the global material library features a right click context menu that contains additional options copy data copy all the general properties stored in the global library to the selected reference material, except for the name copy data and name copy all the general properties stored in the global library to the selected reference material, including the name copy all perform the same function as "copy data and name" when in the user material list insert copy the global material reference spectra from one or more selected items into the current workflow material list copy to clipboard copy one or more selected global material reference properties into the clipboard, which can be transferred to 3rd party software reviewer status comments
