Editing the Element Tables

You can edit the element tables for each acquisition technique. This can be done “on-the-fly” when you’re following the procedures for acquiring data. You can also edit the tables directly so that you can change the default tables provided for XPS and AES and create the table for SIMS.

To edit the element tables:

  1. Click on the Element Table command in the Edit window. Select the acquisition technique for the element table you want to change.

  2. The Select Element dialog box for that acquisition technique is displayed. (What’s This Help is provided for the fields in the dialog box.)

Make the changes then click on OK.
