PHA Scan peak fit

After peaking an element we often acquire the PHA bias scan. However, in the output (Display PHA, Peaking and Peak Scan Data) we get a peak fit only for the ROM Scan for the peak position, which is automatically updated for the element in the run.

How difficult would it be to implement a peak fit for the Bias Scan, where the peak is not always as smooth as a spectrometer position peak scan?

Or would it be at least possible to implement some feature where, similar to the peak scan position update, upon clicking in the graph, the new value for the bias is automatically updated for the element (would need to be an integer without decimals) ?



Until now we need to determine the new bias by hand from the graph and note the value on a piece of paper (or the more advanced of us use excel or other digital media  :P ), then go to the PHA dialogue and type it in for every element. Now this might be not such a big deal for the daily routine analysis, but when the routine becomes a set of 20 and more elements it is quite time consuming to do this manually. Sorry for being spoiled... ;D

Rgds,

This was a fantastic suggestion Radek.

Thanks for implementing this John. Just used it for the first time in version 13.8.3, and it turned one of my least favorite method setup chores into a 90 second breeze!

Agreed click on bias position to input new value a great implementation, thank you John

Thank-you very much Ben!  Feedback is always appreciated!

Yes, sometimes it's the small "tweaks" to the software that can have a very positive impact on the day to day operation of EPMA instruments.

To everyone: in fact, it's worth taking a look back through this topic to see what little things have been requested/implemented by/for users over the years.  For example this tweak that allows one to export sample positions from Probe for EPMA in the PictureSnapApp annotation format for importing into PictureSnapApp:

This allows the full power of PictureSnapApp annotation options to be utilized for analyses from PFE. Here's a webinar on PictureSnap and PictureSnapApp on our YouTube channel:

And here are some examples using PictureSnapApp:
