Reference Ribbon

starting in amics 3 3, the mineral standard manager was deprecated, and all mineral management functions were incorporated into amics process the reference tab has all controls for the materials library docid\ jhtlm5raiyok8xrviokxu the standards tab is divided into four areas files have commands related to the material standard files workflow options control functions related to the classification workflow docid\ sqje5moczy6wvwfnucfy1 reference spectrum options have controls related to materials library docid\ jhtlm5raiyok8xrviokxu quantification options have controls related to quantification docid\ mqrfvigw6nx lndjgeb2e material reference view has controls related to the spectral view global materials allows the users to change the global reference library reference file options the three file options allow for interaction with the common material database the three functions are import database — this will load an amics material library db file and replace the current common library with the libraries in the db file export database—this will create a new amics material library db file and save a copy on system media reload — this will reload the existing common user database, which will refresh and remove any unsaved changes note care should be taken when using the "import database" function as any material libraries in the common user database will be lost unless backed up beforehand, and there is no recovery mechanism for this list workflow (previously oretype) the classification workflow is a database comprised of materials library docid\ jhtlm5raiyok8xrviokxu , classification steps docid\ rd7wulft87 yrrrby5xan , touch up steps docid\ no1zj3kwsfbjrg313fnjm , and groupings docid 7g8kfjxxwbsbzti8lci3t taken together, this is a classification method that can be applied to one or more measurements to achieve consistent classification results new button adds a new database with no entries rename button renames the database duplicate button duplicates the database with a new name compare button will compare the loaded database with another check button checks the validity of all entries remove button removes the current database merge workflow button will merge the selected database with the active database, or database from a amics workflow db or mre file export button exports a copy of the selected database as a amics workflow db when importing from a db database file which had been exported using the "export workflow" care should be taken, as the exported db file will not contain information about steps or grouping, and the user will be required to manaully load them back in from another source or build them again reference spectrum options these main menu ribbon options relate to the generation and removal of reference materials, which are used to match measured spectra to a defined material collect time (ms) dwell time in millisecond for the collection of a spectrum no of collection number of spectra to take collec t execute a x ray spectrum acquisiton import spectrum import a spectrum from a spx file export spx export the current spectrum to a spx file remove remove the currently selected reference material access requirements! collecting spectrum requires an amics online license quantification the global quantification docid\ mqrfvigw6nx lndjgeb2e settings are used to define the method used for general quantification quant a pplies a quantification to a selected spectrum eds methods select the default esprit quantification recipe update method list queries the most recent version of esprit and opens a dialog box to import methods once selected and updated, the selected methods are accessed from the eds methods (see above) send to esprit s end the selected material spectrum directly to esprit material reference view to make changes to the primary spectral visualization panel smooth view—toggle between a spectrum display as a saw tooth showing exact counts per channel and a smoothed spectrum line ctrum line element lines toggle between showing the lines indicating elements for each detected peak in the spectrum material label toggle on and off a label for the selected material name in the main spectrum view toggle bg color toggle between a white background for the spectrum or the selected color in the " background color " option reset will return the main spectral window global materials adjusting the global material reference library auto will automatically select library based on detected data type (note m4 converted data can be mistaken for sem data) bruker m4 changes the global reference library to the m4 database bruker m4 plus changes the global reference library to the m4 plus database sem changes the global reference library to the original sem database
