requires amics 5 1 0 or newer the released version of amics is {{version}} and can be found at docid\ se8jyhxszdqfpit7s1ja0 with instruction on the docid\ e1faehd1k20uedqhptzlx page manuals for previous versions of the software can be found at the docid\ d2biwe sybowhhdww0anz page aside from triggers based on the bse, material, and energy peaks, some additional filters can help to refine a measurement result these can be found in the other filter option of the hybrid trigger menu this filtering option does not all relate to changes to the analysis mode but can be used to limit or restrict what data will be collected or included during the triggering event description of these options are large area mapping this option allows for the size of the segment to be the triggering factor this can be used to ensure materials with similar average atomic numbers, and therefore similar bse responses, are not missed due to under segmentation by setting this filter, a large segment area, set by the "value(pixel)" setting, will always be mapped based on the "step size" grid defined by the user remove large particles this option is not a trigger but set to prevent triggering of particles larger than the "value(pixel)" setting for all other filters only a lower threshold segment size has been set, this setting can be set to prevent the measurement of particles too large and to reduce total analysis time remove edge particles this option is also not a trigger but is used to avoid including particles that bridge two fields this option can be useful as particle crossing field boundaries can cause artifacts is not stitched correctly or inappropriate overlaps to be used depending on the sample and the total number of particles available for analysis, removing these edge particles can improve the final statistics of the modal data keep bse triggered particle only this option is only designed to reduce the total size of the final data file, as only particles that registered a triggered segment will be saved this can be useful for precious metal analysis were the barrent ganue particles are of no interest, and only gangue particle bearing the target previous metal is of value
