Thank you for information. My objective hasn't changed. I try to understand how the peaking works. When it will be clear for me, I can adjust more then just peaking time saving.
You showed me the ROM algorithm - thank you again. My questions was about Interval Halving method and after peaking WS. Anyway I'll try again to understand how does the peaking search works.
Actually my target is simple. I try to understand why the measured content of Fe in Fe2O3 standards (Taylor and SPI) is 2wt% lower than it should be. My old unsolved issue ((
https://probesoftware.com/smf/index.php?topic=1423.msg10484#msg10484Fe standard - Fe metal in the same block with Fe2O3 (carbon coating is the same).
O standard - Fe2O3 or MgO at the same block.
Doesn't matter: oxygen measured or calculated, use or not Fe+2/+3 correction, width and shape BG (from detail WSs analysis).
FeKa is a strong line, so APFs for Fe wont affect.
MAC, APF for O change O. Of course Fe changes a bit as well but not so successfully as it needs.
The only point I thought was a wrong peaking. But also not, everything is good.
Certainly, my affords with searching the solution give me new knowledge but...
You and your colleagues many times recommended to look at results of calculations with different corrections. I did. But what should I see is not clear. For instance here are results for calculation with default MAC table (LINEMU Henke...) and FFAST table. Empirical MAC and APF values are not use in the calculations.
