XRF DIRECT SOFTWARE

XRF Direct is a spectrometric analysis software, easy to use in only two steps.

The first step, the calibration, consists in defining a file of standards and calculating calibration graphs. This step is done once for each type of analyses. These information are kept in memory by the software, in a personal customer file, and can be used for subsequent analysis.
The spectrometer is described once for ever; five tube and goniometer parameters are specified to the software.


Calibration for each NEW file is made once.
Elements, measured lines and kV are selected, for up to 30 elements.


One table of concentrations in standards, and one table of measured net line intensities are specified to the software, for up to 30 standards.


Then, calibration graphs are automatically drawn by XRFDirect, showing intensities after correction for matrix effects as a function of concentrations, one graph for each element. These graphs are kept on file for examination or modification at any time.


A data importation tool is available to realise the migration of data from the user's files to the software easily and promptly, avoiding transcription errors.


The second step, the determination of unknown samples, is done as often as necessary by the user.

The proper file of calibration is first selected. Then, a table of measured net line intensities from the spectrometer is fed to the computer, just like for the step of calibration, 10 samples maximum at a time.

Concentrations are automatically calculated by XRFDirect. The calculated concentrations are displayed in three different ways as needed by the user: concentrations as calculated, concentrations as element (in analysis of oxides), and concentrations after normalization of calculated values.

Results can be transferred to the user's desk through a data exportation tool, for further use.
