Hello,
Looking at the tutorials I understand that NIST DTSA 2 is a program that needs standards for it to analyse the spectra. But it obviously needs some libraries to do a simulation, a standardless analysis based on a theoretical model. So isnt the program able to do standardless analysis and can we as users take advantage of that and not get in the trouble of having to find standards? The program is great but it seems weird to me that I need to have standards and references for a quantification but the program can simulate spectra. There has to be a way to take advantage of the libraries to do a standardless quantification.
I'd appreciate to hear your thoughts about this. Thanks!

While in theory it is possible to use simulated spectra to quantify measured spectra, the uncertainties are just too large. Too many physical parameters that go into the models are too poorly known. We use standards because we are willing to spend a little extra time to get a reliable answer.
If you don't care about getting an accurate result, there are many vendor's software that can provide standardless analyses.
Does DTSA 2 support standardless analysis through scripting? Could i use a script that takes advantage of the theoretical models that DTSA 2 uses so i can do standardless analysis?
Thanks!
Bill.
Nope.
