Here I describe a new feature which allows the user to simply specify a few parameters and the program will automatically extract k-ratios from multiple Penepma batch runs...
Starting from the Penepma Batch Mode window as seen here:
specify the element and x-ray to extract k-ratios for and click the Extract K-Ratios button. The program will then ask for two folders, the first for the folder containing the (usually bulk geometry) standard intensity calculation from Penepma for that element as seen here:
Note that the current standard intensity folder containing the pe-intens-01.dat file is empty (indicated by the two closed parentheses), and the program first starts in the C:\UserData\Penepma12\Batch folder to begin with. Therefore the user must browse to the actual folder containing the standard intensity file as seen here:
Next the program will ask for the folder containing the unknown samples, and again it will start in the C:\UserData\Penepma12\Batch folder to begin with, so again, the user must browse to the actual folder containing the unknown intensities as seen here:
After specifying the unknown intensity folder (which contains sub folders created by the Penepma batch mode), the program will automatically output the calculated k-ratios for all samples to a tab delimited text file which can be edited further as necessary. An example of the output is shown here and attached below:
Note that if the user clicks the Extract K-ratios button a second time, the application will start at the last folder specified as seen here:
