When using the Load File Setup button in the New Sample/Setup dialog from the Acquire! window, the latest version of Probe for EPMA ( v. 13.1.8 ) now loads the standard intensities in the actual order of acquisition into the new probe database.
If one answers "Yes" to the prompt "Do you want to load standard intensities also", previously PFE loaded the standard intensities starting from the last standard in the probe database used for loading the sample setup from, so the order of acquisition in the new probe database was in reverse order. This seems to have caused some confusion among users.
The new code uses two loops now, so it first loads the standard row numbers, again starting from the last to the first (so that it always uses the most recent standard intensity data), and simply stores them in an array. Then it uses another loop to actually read and store the standard intensities from the old run in reverse order so they are now loaded in the original order of acquisition.
The reason this is helpful is because the standard intensity drift correction depends on the samples being ordered by time of acquisition.
