Pre Acquisition Setup - Data
5.3.6 - Acquistion and Data Types Selection
Some acquisitions, such as quantitative measurements or absorption / transmission / reection require a degree of data
processing which can be executed and displayed seamlessly in Solis.
5.3.6.1 - Denitions of Data Types
Data processing and display involves the following bassline information:
• Signal: Uncorrected raw data acquired via Take Signal. ‘Signal’, as used in the denitions of the calculations,
refers to ‘raw’ data from the detector and should not be confused with the possibly ‘processed’ data to be
found under the Sig tab of the Data window.
• Background: Data in uncorrected counts, acquired in darkness
• Reference: Background corrected data. Reference data is normally acquired from the light source, without the
light having been reected from or having passed though the material being studied
5.3.6.2 - Data Display and Processing Modes
The data processing and display formats can be selected from the Acquisition drop down menu under Setup Data
Type, e.g.:
The descriptions of the different available data display and processing types are shown in Table 8.
