Viewing Spectra
Selecting Data File>>Next Data File will load the data file that alphabetically
follows the current data file in the same directory. For example, if the directory
contains the following files:
Soil01.d
Soil02.d
Soil03.d
Water01.d
Water02.d
Water03.d
and soil03.d is currently displayed, selecting Next Data File will load water01.d. If
the current data file is the last one in the directory (in this example water03.d) the
message No Next File is displayed. To initiate this feature, the user must have first
selected a data file from the Load Data File dialog box (from the File menu in Data
Analysis).
This menu item is not related to the numbered items near the bottom of the menu,
which display the most recently loaded data files.
The three most recently loaded data files are listed as numbered menu items, with
the first entry corresponding to the most recently loaded data file. Selecting any one
of these numbered menu items will cause that file to be loaded into data analysis.
The spectrum for the loaded file appears in the ICP-MS Data Analysis window,
showing a mass spectrum for all elements analyzed. This file contains the mean
values for data acquired from all repetitions set in the method.
There are four colors used in the spectrum.
• Pulse counting
• Analog modes
• Mix
• Skipped due to excessive signal
