Global vs. User-Specific Settings
AugerScan lets you define settings (hardware properties, multiplier
properties, and ion/electron gun properties) that are global, that is, they are applied to all acquisition types for each acquisition
technique. You define these settings using the commands in the System menu. Each
command displays a dialog box in which you define the settings for each
acquisition technique. Before you acquire data, verify that the settings are correct.
User-specific settings are the settings provided by the Options command in the View menu.
These settings are associated with the user who is logged onto Windows. (To
use this features in Windows, select the Passwords icon in the Windows Control
Panel. Select the User Profiles tab in the Password Properties dialog box.
Change the settings there as appropriate.) You may control the fonts and the
graphing options for your personal AugerScan sessions. Click here for more
information about fonts ; click here for more information about graphs .
Note: Your global gun settings may change for various reasons. Therefore, data
that you acquired in the past may have used different gun settings than the
currently-defined global gun settings. However, you may change the gun settings
associated with an existing acquisition by selecting the Settings command from the
Acquisition menu and then clicking on the Edit Gun Settings button to
associate the correct settings with the acquisition data.
