Importing Data
The Import command you import data that has been saved as ASCII text. You
need to import data into a new AugerScan document, which you create with the New
command in the File menu). If you don't create a new document, AugerScan warns
you that you are about to replace the data in the active AugerScan document.
Remember: If you were using a previous version of AugerScan, you must first save the
data as ASCII text in the older version of AugerScan before you can import the
data into the current vesion of AugerScan.
Importing XPS data from Apollo ASCII files
You can import ASCII files from the Apollo system using the Import command by
selecting the “*.inf” file type. All Apollo ASCII files have multiple files associated with them.
AugerScan reads the header information from the “.inf” file, and will find the associated data in a “.asc” file, also generated by the Apollo. It is important that the “.inf” and “.asc” files have the same name.
Note that the Apollo does not save the transition state information with the
element name. If you need this information, you must enter it manually into the “.inf” file. Using any text editor, open the “.inf” file and look for the sections labeld “Region acquisition control block structure”. The first heading will be the element name. Change the element name to
reflect the transition you want to add. For example, to add a “1s” transition to carbon, change the element name from “C” to “C 1s”. Remember to always leave a space between the element name and the
transition; AugerScan uses that format to recognize transition states.
