5 Software The software for this instrument utilizes the features of the Windows system and can be operated similarly with other market software. The software has compacted the features necessary to perform analysis and provides a user friendly environment for a wide range of analysis needs. The software contains the 6 features explained below.
5.1 File Selects the analysis and condition editing operations explained below as well as opening analysis condition and result files.
5.2 Measurement Conditions Creates the measurement conditions necessary for quantitative and qualitative analysis measurements. Determining Analysis Conditions Measurement Measures in a single measurement profiles with a maximum 80 elements × 20 analysis lines. Qualitative Determination Performs qualitative analysis based on the spectrum profile data acquired from the measurement. Identifies the elements included in the sample in 3 steps and calculates the estimated concentration. Condition Determination Automatically creates quantitative analysis conditions based on the spectrum profile data acquired from the measurement. Select standard, blank or unknown sample. Quantiative analysis conditions such as total time, the appropriate analysis line,whether or not to perform background correction,and so on for each element analysis are automatically created. Edit Analysis Conditions Edits the analysis conditions used in qualitative analysis measurements. The conditions are comprised of measurement conditions for each element (analysis line), common conditions, and standard sample conditions. All necessary conditions can be set and the file saved. Also, during condition editing, auxiliary features including tools, analysis condition determination and qualitative determination have been added. Through this addition, the information acquired during the editing can be used immediately for settings.
5.3 Analysis Performs qualitative and quantitative analysis. Qualitative Analysis Performs high speed identification while measuring a maximum 72 element analysis line profile. Elements in the sample are identified in 3 steps and the estimated concentration is calculated. Quantitative Analysis Manual Measurement Through manual operation of samples, quantiative analysis measurements of up to 80 elements, 170 samples can be performed. Edit the sample conditions for the indicated quantitative analysis conditions. Next, click the Measure button to start the measurement. During measurements, the measurement data, calibration curves and spectrum profile can be viewed. Quantitative Analysis Autosampler Measurement (option) Using the autosampler, the sample is automatically introduced and quantitative analysis measurements of up to 80 elements, 170 samples can be performed. Up to 10 conditions can be selected for the quantitative analysis and continuous measurements are possible with the autosampler. An auto on/off feature for the plasma has also been added.
5.4 Data Checks and processed data acquired from each analysis. Qualitative Data Displays/edits/prints data acquired from qualitative analysis. Displays and overlap displays the measured spectrum profile. Condition Determination Data Displays/edits (analysis line selection, background correction settings etc.)/prints data acquired using condition determination. Displays and overlap displays the measured spectrum profile. Quantitative Data Displays/edits (unit conversion, dilution degree calculation, molecular weight calculation)/prints measurement data. Displays/edits (overlapping)/prints spectrum profiles. Displays/edits (create, unknown concentration calculation, standard addition method)/prints calibration curves. Loads Excel and pastes the profile data and calibration curve data onto an Excel sheet. This feature enables the user to freely manage the data information.
5.5 Tool Contains the tools necessary for normal usage of such things as plasma ignition and wavelength initialization. Through instrument operation or simple measurements, condition inspection or performance checks can be performed. Plasma Ignite/Extinguish Automatically ignites and extinguishes the plasma. Wavelength Initialization Automatically initializes the wavelength. Profile Measurement Promptly measures the spectrum profile without complicated condition settings. Can also overwrite up to 5 measured spectrum profiles. DL Measurement Measures blank samples/standard samples and calculates the detection limit. Distribution Measurement Creates a graph using the RF output or observation height on the horizontal axis and the intensity or SB ratio on the vertical axis. Wavelength Correction Corrects the wavelength deviation of the instrument. This feature reduces the peak error in analysis. Instrument Operation Displays the status and control of the instrument.
5.6 Settings Maintenance Maintains the database used for each analysis or maintenance of the instrument. Wavelength Database Used for creating the qualitative analysis line or editing the analysis or interference line. System Data Edits various data used to control the instrument. This feature is used for instrument maintenance. Error History Automatically records and saves the contents of errors when problems arise with the instrument. This feature is extremely helpful when troubleshooting. Option Settings Enables changes to the display color of the spectrum profile as well as detailed settings for measurements not normally used.
