CalcImage CIP project file format

[John Donovan]

Ok, cool. So you have to export the standard spectra from PFE and extract the net intensities, but then how do you run the quant in CalcImage?  Do you edit the PFE MDB EDS net intensity table with the new net intensities from NeXL?

No taking NeXL calculated k-ratio maps I multiply them by pfe std int to give unk int maps.

Very clever.

There is one complication, I haven't quite got my head round.

The unknown grd map in calcimage is in cps.

With a single count time parameter for the whole map.

Does this matter or just effect pixel count statistics

Because pfe and calcimage kratio is persumably

Code Select Expand

unk intensity cps / std intensity cps
So

Code Select Expand

map pixel value / std intensity cps
So map stored count time not used, except for count stats

Is that correct?

[John Donovan]

Yes, GRD file EDS maps are in net cps (live time) and the map count times in the CIP file are used for calculating statistics and also documentation purposes.

Thanks John for confirming, now for some real maps/samples...
