After the identification has been completed, click the   button to go back to the original 
spectrum display and to see the quantification results on the right hand side of the dialog and 
below the spectrum display. There are two tabs: Spectrum displays the results of the current 
spectrum, Table shows the results for all measurements of the series.

Result display  Description 
 
In the spectrum line below the 
spectrum display  
In this position only one result can be 
shown. This can be selected via the 
pull down menu that can be opened 
with the triangle on top of the 
spectrum lines. Here it is also 
possible to define the sequence of 
displayed results (atomic number or 
result). 
 
 
On the right hand side of the screen 
The Spectrum tab displays the 
results for the current spectrum with 
the statistical error Sigma (see Table 
3. The Table tab displays the results 
of N measurements together with the 
mean value and the standard 
deviation Sigma of the N results.  
Sigma mean is the standard error of 
the mean values, calculated by 
division of the mean value with the 
square root of N and therefore gives 
a quality for the mean value based on 
the amount of measurements (N) but 
not the results.  
The data presented under Spectrum 
depends on the settings in the 
method editor. They can be adapted 
by clicking the   icon. 
The Table tab displays the mass 
concentrations. This can also be 
changed by clicking the   icon. 
6.4.3.4  Spectrum control  
A double click on the spectrum line below the spectrum display opens the Spectrum properties 
dialog, which provides spectrum information and allows a special energy calibration. The dialog is 
divided in three tabs: Results, Parameter and Spectrum.
