Step
Example/hints
1
Select the workspace.
Use high count rate for good count statistics.
2
Click
on the scan configurator to set
Image resolution
, Mapping dwell time
and Line average.
Image resolution defines the pixel resolution.

.
rtm: To save element distribution images
without point spectra.
.
raw: To save hyperspectral datacube for
further
processing with third party softwares
(NIST Lispix format).
b) Add data to project
Note: Only the EM image, composite
element images and Map
spectrum will be
added
to a Project and Report,
not the whole
hyperspectral database (HyperMap).
c) Add data to report.
