Counts and Counts Per Second
When you acquire data using AugerScan, the data is displayed in counts per
second (cps). These are the values that are displayed as Min and Max at the top
of the AugerScan document.
There are occasions that you may want to know total counts for an element
instead of counts per second. For example, this might occur when an element has
low counts per second but you want to see how it compares to other elements in
total counts.
When you want to see total counts instead of cps, select the Convert to Counts
command in the Data menu. If you want to see cps again, select the Revert to
Raw command to display the data in cps. (If you want to save the version of
the data when counts are used, save the data under a different name before
selecting the Revert to Raw command. Use the Save As command in the file menu to
create the new AugerScan document in which the data is saved.)
