All,
When ROM scanning (peaking, integrated intensities...) on our SX100 (#846, installed October 2003) we regularly get intensities which are anomalously high at the start of the scan. Most of the time this happens on our spectrometer 3, sometimes on 4, but almost never on the others. Most of the time only the first value is high, every now and then the second or third are also affected.
With John's help we seem to have fixed this now by increasing the SX100ScanSpectroMilliSecDelayBefore value in probewin.ini to 2000ms. Originally this value was set to 200ms. At 1000ms the high values still occur.
We don't see these spikes in PeakSight so Cameca seem to have some way of dealing with it as well.
Cheers,
Karsten
