- Support for 77-067 Ion Gun Control for SIMS
- Neutralizer on/off event added to Automation control.
- AES Gain Curve provides a warning that the beam current should be at or below 10nA before
acquiring.
- Gain Curve can be cancelled during acquisition.
- For all SIMS acquisitions, peak mass use 3 decimal places.
- Depth Profiles can be traced to display cycle, time, and depth in the status bar.
- Closing AugerScan prompts user to save all or none if more than one
acquisition has been modified.
- Argon is by default not selected from marker lists for atomic concentration.
IMPORTANT: In order to support a wider variety of system types, as of
AugerScan version 3.12, the DR11 connection to the 72-030 Neutralizer Control has been
changed to DR11-C, and the CSR for the controller has been changed to CSR 0.
If you have been running you 72-030 with a previous version of AugerScan, you
will need an additional DR11 cable, and will need to make changes to jumper
settings in the 72-030 unit. If you have not recieved the cabling and/or
instructions for this modification, please contact RBD Technical Support (tech@rbdenter.com)
