While running quantitative analyses, the user has the option of doing peak searches at selected points. However, if the counts for a given element are too low, the software will skip the peak search for that element. What are the threshold values below which the software will not do the peak search?

  
 
 
 
The threshold values vary with accelerating voltage, and they are as follows:

Accelerating voltage (kV):   15     20     25     30
Threshold value (counts):  100   200   300   400

These are fixed values in the software and cannot be changed.
To skip this threshold check temporarily, type the command:
      touch /tmp/pksk_xr_skip
To reset back to normal threshold checking, type the command:
      rm /tmp/pksk_xr_skip
