Annotation Options

AugerScan lets you define several settings for your annotations. These settings are defined in the Annotations tab of the View Options dialog box.

You can define the default tab settings for tabs that you use to format annotations. These settings are global so they affect all annotations, including tables.

You can also display the atomic concentrations of a survey in table format. This table, an Atomic Concentration Table, is a special type of annotation and can have characteristics defined specifically for it. You can:

An Atomic Concentration Table will automatically be updated if the atomic concentration is recalculated (either manually or automatically, such as when a marker is added or removed). You can also delete the Table, but it will be regenerated automatically if the atomic concentration is recalculated. Reverting to raw data does not remove the Atomic Concentration Table; you must delete it manually.

An XPS summary table will automatically be updated if any of the data is recalculated. You can also delete the Table, but if will be regenerated automatically if there is any change to the data.

A Note About Tables: If the columns in the tables are not displaying properly, you may want to change the tab settings (as noted above), or the font used for the table (double-click on the annotation to change the font).

To change the settings for annotations:

  1. Select the Options command from the View menu.

  2. Click on the Annotations tab.

  3. Change the settings as appropriate. Use the What’s This Help to get more information about the fields in the dialog box.

  4. Click on OK in the View Options dialog box to save the changes.
