All,
I have written an application that will import standard compositions from Probe for EPMA's Standard program's ASCII (NOT single row format) export into Pathfinder's standard composition library format.
It makes a copy of any previously existing standard composition library file.
To use the application,
-Download extract it.
-Export your PFE standard library as ASCII.
-Launch the StandardCompLibraryTranslator.
-Browse to the appropriate exported .dat file.
-Click the Process button.
-Enjoy not needing to enter your standard compositions into Pathfinder.
--The Pathfinder library is located here:
C:\ProgramData\Thermo Scientific\NSS\NSS Libraries\WDS\WdsLibrary.csv
Note1: Pathfinder does not handle more than 24 elements in a standard. The app tells you which of your PFE standards have too many elements at the very bottom of the WdsLibrary.csv file. It usually only happens with REE glasses.
Note2: If your standard composition name has commas, they will be replaced with periods.
Note3: Standard composition names are truncated to 30 characters, which is the limit that Pathfinder allows.
Let me know if you have issues with it.
Steve, praise be! I've been looking forward to this. This is so incredibly useful!
Thanks
