This article contains a description of the Import Tool, which can be used to import, set the destination and apply basic corrections to maps. Closing the Import Tool aboard the import procedure (no data will be imported).
Select a set of map files to be imported. Select compatibles files in the pop-up window pick map file(s). Note that several files can be selected together. If a selected file cannot be imported for example because of incompatible format, this file will be skipped during import.
Format: map files must have *.txt, *.asc, *.dat or *.csv extension, no header line and a name compatible with the default elements names of XMapTools for identification. The default lists for compatible names of elements and oxides are provided bellow.
Selected map files are listed in the main table. More maps can be added by pressing the button to select maps (see above)
- File: contains the file names
- Map Name: contains the name of the corresponding element in the database
- Type: element or oxide
- Data: intensity or wt%
- Special: EDS or WDS(?); in the case of WDS(?) a DTC is automatically selected
- DTC: Dead time correction
- OC: Orientation correction (do not use; not tested)
- Destination: Destination in XMapTools, can be: Intensity, Quanti, Merged, Other; dropdown menu, can be edited.
- Action: Keep or eliminate; dropdown menu, can be edited.
Settings, such as setting the dwell time (as in XMapTools 3) can be changed in the section Corrections.
Press Import data to import the selected maps in XMapTools after applying the corrections.
Intensity maps will be available in the category Intensity and other maps in in the category Other.
Warning: In this version of XMapTools the filename should match exactly one of the compatible elements. Otherwise the map will be imported into the “Other” category. However, the filename can contain an element name followed by an underscore (_) and a comment, e.g. Si_sample1.txt will be recognised as a map of Si.
