Hi Dawn,
There are already two solutions to your requests:
1. When peak searching, can you add a button link that takes the user right to the display menu?
If you open "Basic EPMA" in the "File" menu, it gets you to what is essentially a link collection. On this is a link to both the Peaking dialog (for manual peaking), Automated Acquisition (for automated peaking on multiple materials) as well as the "Display Peaking ....". Just have that open and it gets you can essentially toggle between your different windows.
2. I usually calibrate with 5 points per standard. However, for Na and K, I calibrate with 7 points (or more). With the Standard Points to Acquire button, we have to designate the highest number. Could you add something that allows me to tell the software to just acquire the number of set points per standard?
My current solution for this is that 1) I have 7 points set on Na and K standards and 5 points on all the other ones, (2) set "7" in "Standard Points to Acquire" in the Automated window but 3) have "Use only digitized standard positions" set in Acquisition Options (under Miscellaneous options).
That way you get PFE to run your custom number of standard positions.
