Here's a few tips for utilizing previously acquired standard intensities from other runs.
So normally we would create a new run, then maybe load the sample setup from a previous run that had similar elements/conditions using the Acquire! window New Sample/Setup button as seen here:

This will load not only the selected sample setup, but also all run (globals) specified in that run, and optionally all the standard intensities required for that specified sample setup.
This is a great way to get going quickly with a new run and of course the imported sample setup can be further modified and/or re-standardiazed.
The other more manual method to load standard intensities requires some preparation. Some of you may already utilize the Save Element Setup feature in Probe for EPMA to save specific element setups to the public SETUP.MDB file, so that these element setups can be recalled later by any user.
What you may not have noticed is that if the sample is a standard it will also save the standard intensity for that element. But to streamline this method, one can simply utilize the Save Sample Setups as seen here from the Analyze! window:

This button will automatically search the sample and automatically output all element setups associated with that sample including the standard (and interference and MAN) standard intensities to the (several) element setup databases. One click is all it takes!

Once you have saved a number of element setups, you can import them into new runs using the button shown below. Personally when using this Load Element Setup dialog, I usually just load the element setups (without the standard intensities) and then re-acquire the standards, just to be sure to get up to date standard intensities.
But if desired, one can also load individual standard intensities using the button shown below.
