X-Ray Markers

Although X-ray markers are selected using the PPP Tool, they can be added to plots made with the Data Cube Tool in the same manner that they are added to the spectrum plot used with the PPP Tool.  For example:

• Open a data cube, open the Data Cube Tool, and make a multi plot:  **Data Cube** / plot / Multi spec - whole cube.  (Plot button is third line down, left of center.)

• 

• Open the PPP Tool. 

  You need not attach the data cube to the PPP Tool, nor set the number of channels, etc. 

  Open the Periodic Table using Markers / Select elements..  (If a Periodic Table is not already open, Lispix will open the table and ask you to select the elements.

  Select elements for markers from the Table by clicking on them.

  Markers button is on the left, just below center.  "No lines selected" to the right of the Markers button indicates that the Elemental Markers List is empty.

   

  Use Markers / Select elements again.  This should list the elements you have selected in the Perodic Table to the Elemental Markers List, which is displayed to the right of the Markers button.  If no elements are selected, such as is the case with a newly opened Periodic Table, or just after you have clicked the Clear All! button in the Periodic Table, then the Elemental Markers List will be cleared.

  Periodic Table with five elements selected.

  Five elements put into the Elemental Markers List, just to the right of the Markers button.

   

  Use Markers / Show Elements on plot to add the to the (front) spectrum plot, the .x-ray line markers in the Elemental Markers List.  (The Periodic Table does not need to be open to do this). 

  

  Use Markers / Adjust height in plot to change the height of the markers.

The lines have been set to 120% of plot height to show the lower intensity line labels more clearly.  The 100% or most intense lines are, of course, off scale: The labels are out of view above the plot, and cannot be brought into view by resizing the plot since the plot automatically rescales when resized.  Use Markers / Adjust height in plot to decrease the line height in order to make visible the labels for the intense x-ray lines.
