Analysis Tools

For users who want to perform more sophisticated data analysis, QuantumMCA provides a spectrum calculator, shown below, and several Convolution functions that manipulate the acquired spectrum and place the result in a separate memory location. The results can then be displayed for further analysis. The available convolutions include the following filters:

• Quadratic smooth
• 1st and 2nd derivatives
• Top hat filter
• Peak finder

In addition, the Spectrum Calculator is a handy way to perform adding,subtracting, and other forms of numerical manipulation.
