Standardless Quantification
This section describes the steps of automatic standardless quantification and quantification using
the quantification dialog.
Step
Examples/hints
1
Select

This workflow also applies to any spectrum
chart available in the E
SPRIT software.
a) a spectrum or
Refer to section 5.7.
b) Use the
Spectrum chart icon to
Open a spectrum.
Optionally, drag and drop a spectrum from
the
Project into the spectrum workspace
2
Click
on the
button and
select
Load… to load a quantification
method
.
Select a quantification method (eg. Default,
Oxides, Standards or TEM)
. Alternatively
drag and drop a quantification method from
the project to the spectrum chart.

Start quantification by clicking the
button.
If quantification is set to automatic (
), the
quantification results appear in the spectrum
list
(see section 5.7).
If quantification is set to interactive (
),
the
QUANTIFICATION
dialog pops up. In this
case proceed with step 6.
6
Edit quantification parameters using the
quantification
dialog
The left dialog part has the same functionality
as the method editor. All changes have an
immediate effect on the quantification results
displayed in the result table.
a) Use to drop down the different
settings menus
b) Click on
to
access/hide the settings of the
quantification method.
7
Use the Elements tab to identify
elements
.
Select an element by clicking on the ID in the
periodic table. Double
click or right
click on an
element to access the element properties
dialog. Use this dialog to set
Deconvolution
only
or to change spectral line for
quantification.
8
The Element finder displays elements
with s
pectral lines at the cursor position
in the spectrum diagram
.
Use right click and drag mouse to select a
spectral region: all elements are listed in the
Finder which have spectral lines in the
selected spectrum region.
