User Manual

A list of spectra displayed below the spectrum window provides control over display, data

exchange, and spectrum analysis.

Result window. Calculated results, result diagrams or other presentations of evaluated data are

displayed in the right part of the screen.

Control buttons. A row of control buttons on top of the main display window. The buttons allow

starting and stopping of preview, spectrum acquisition, automatic and manual spectrum analysis,

and - in special cases - validating standard samples and reference measurements. They will be

described in detail together with the workspaces.

Option dialogs. A number of individual option dialogs and control buttons associated to the

display windows are provided. These can be opened by clicking onto the icons on the right side of

the according windows (usually contain display options, but also tools) or the downward-facing

arrows next to the control buttons (acquisition and analysis options). Also, a number of text

icons can be clicked to get access to option dialogs, settings, and selection boxes. In many

cases, diagram axis descriptions and column titles can be clicked to toggle selections. Active

screen items are indicated with small right-facing arrows ; active items will react when the

mouse cursor is moved over them.

Clicking into data lists and thumbnail images results in highlighting them. Highlighted items can be

selected for different actions, e.g. export to file or spectrum evaluation. In some cases multiple

objects can be selected to perform batch processing.

Import/Export menu. The most important option dialogs are the individual Import/Export menus

( icons), which are available for separate screen areas and in many pop-up dialogs. The

Import/Export menus contain context dependent subsections with options for saving and loading

or importing and exporting spectra, diagrams, images, result lists, and other items. The

Import/Export menus control data transfer to and from the current project and to and from the

report. Direct printing and on screen result checking is also provided through an Import/Export

menu.
