Wish List for PFE Features

[John Donovan]

Hi John,
Enjoying the discussion about trace elements. It reminded me about one wish I have for the multipoint background display. Being colourblind, the actual spectrum overlay in the displays is just about invisible to me. Is it possible to allow the user to change colour  or alt least have a switch that can change the colour to something a bit less pastel. Otherwise I'm finding the colours appropriate, this is about the only place where I've having visibility issues.

Cheers

Glenn

Hi Glenn,
Thanks, I'll be posting much more once my stage is fixed!

In the meantime, is this better for you (and everyone else)?

Don't know what colour it is , but its a lot more visible.
Thanks a lot appreciate the quick response.

I made it a little more blue and it can be downloaded now.   I too have no idea of the color name.

I can tweak it more if necessary.

Here's what the new MPB wavescan overlay plot color looks like:

Hi,

I wish for an output option for pha scan/peak scan data including the meta data. Currently, when I go into the pha scan dialog I can output only one scan at a time and the ascii file does not include the metadata (spectrometer, bias, gain, count time, etc). Is there another output option where I can select multiple scans or just have all exported at a time?

Thank you!

Hi Anette,
Right now it is as you describe, but it's easy to add an output with the meta data.

We're currently in Provo, UT but will be back in Eugene late Saturday.

Hi Anette,
I have a first effort at a peaking or PHA scan output feature in PFE v. 11.5.1.

It's under the Output menu.  Please try it and let me know what you think.

Here is a screen shot of the PHA data output to Excel:

Hi John,

currently, when I graph a wavescan with a background model and then go to the Export or Customization dialog (right mouse-click on graph), the background model disappears. Could you (or Gareth) make it that the background model stays?

Sometimes I would like to import my graphs including the background model into another program (Illustrator) for publications, presentations etc and therefore export them as wmf from PFE.

Thanks!

It works when using the Clipboard button:

The latest version of Probe for EPMA (v. 11.5.5) now displays the specified background fit to the measured off-peak intensities as seen in this exponential (two point) fit to an integrated intensity acquisition:

How about displaying the PHA window on the PHA scan data? Low priority, but could be useful.

How about this?

Hi John

First of all, the way you have improved the processing of the integrated intensity scans is awesome! I like the option to be able to delete points and that it uses multiple points at the beginning and end for the background. At the moment the limit is set to 20 points at the beginning and end. Is it possible to increase the number to maybe 50? With trace elements we like to do 50% peak and 50% background. Also could you show somewhere of how many points the scan consists?

Thanks
Sandrin

Hi Sandrin,
Ok, I made the requested changes.  Go ahead and update Probe for EPMA and you will have them.
