Wish List for PFE Features

[Anette von der Handt]

Could you add the "absorption edges" checkbox to the KLM markers in the Plot! Wavescans just like you have in the MPB dialog? That would be very useful.

Two requests around Multi-point backgrounds which I am using a lot lately.

1) Would it be possible to add a "Remove Flags" option (Yes/No) to the "Remove Shared Backgrounds" feature within the "Analyze" menu?
Currently, the function removes shared backgrounds but retains the flags, which can sometimes lead to issues. I would prefer to have the option to choose whether to keep or remove the flags during data processing.

2) Would it be possible to manually select the Multi-Point option as the background type in Element/Cation Properties after searching for Shared Backgrounds? Currently, I can switch from Multi-Point back to Off-Peak, but not the other way around. Sometimes, I want to assess which option works better for a single element, and returning to MPB requires re-searching the shared backgrounds for all elements.

Thank you!

It's already there, just buried one dialog deep:



By the way, this Xray Database dialog also allows one to plot user selected x-ray lines:

I can look into this.

This is by design because the "Multi-Point" option indicates that MPB data has been acquired, and of course with "shared" MPB samples, the data is loaded from the multiple off-peak elements per spectrometer, not actually acquired.

So you really do need to search again for the off-peak intensities to re-load the shared MPB background intensities and set the MPB flag.

Finally (!) playing with sample setups. I'm using the mother of all calibrations (MOAC) approach where I am calibrating all the elements and then building the setup from there. From a glass setup (Si, Al, Ti, Mn, Fe, Mg, Ca, Na, K, Cl, F, etc), I am flagging the Cl, F, K as do not acquire, to make a clinopyroxene setup. In the Sample Setup window in Automate it still lists Cl, F, K as present which is a bit confusing. Is it possible to add a label/flag there that indicates the elements won't be acquired? (see pic for example)

I think this should be relatively easy to do.

Your wish is granted!
