I've previously mentioned the List Anomalous Intensity Data for Standards Or Unknowns menu here:

But I want to re-iterate the color scheme utilized for the output for of anomalous standard intensities:

Black color indicates an element channel that is *not* utilized for any calculations and has point intensity deviations  that are greater than 4 times the predicted variance of that channel.

Blue color indicates an element channel that is *not* utilized for any calculations and has point intensity deviations that are greater than 10 times the predicted variance of that channel.

Magenta color indicates an element channel that is utilized for standard calculations and has point intensities that are greater than 4 times the predicted variance of that channel.

Red color indicates an element channel that is utilized for standard calculations and has point intensities that are greater than 10 times the predicted variance of that channel.

For unknown samples the key is simpler:

Black color indicates an element channel that has point intensity deviations  that are greater than 4 times the predicted variance of that channel.

Blue color indicates an element channel that has point intensity deviations that are greater than 10 times the predicted variance of that channel.

Here is an example of the output for anomalous standard intensities:

The only stupid question is the one not asked!

We decided to display the color coding key in the log window when listing anomalous intensities from the Run | List Anomalous Intensity Data for Standards and Unknowns menu as seen here:



Note the unknown intensities listed at the top, and the standard intensities listed below. The idea is that when listing anomalous standard intensities, one would want to be alerted to anomalous intensities which are being utilized as ones primary standard (text in magenta or red).
