Table 5-10 Automatic Control Parameters—Spectrum Accumulation
Parameter Description
Spectrum Accumulation
Number to Acquire Number of spectra to save or accumulate. This field is
dependent on the condition selected in the conditions
field. For example, if you select Save First or Save Best,
the number to acquire is restricted to one.
Save Conditions The following Save conditions create one or more data
files that contain one spectrum each:
• Save all spectra—All spectra are saved. One
spectrum per search pattern position* is acquired.
The number of .DAT files created is equal to the
Number of Spectra to Acquire, even if the number of
positions in the search pattern is larger. All search
pattern positions may not be analyzed. Acceptance
criteria are not used.
Example: If Number to Acquire=5, Number of
positions in .SP=20, 5 positions analyzed, 5 .DAT
created. If Number to Acquire=25, Number of
positions in .SP=20, 20 positions analyzed, 20 .DAT
created.
* If Use Automated Sample Positioning is disabled, acquisition is performed on the positions you
manually select.
