The various documentation options allow a quick and clear printout or the creation of a detailed WORD report. Furthermore, the data can be saved as ASCII file or in HTML format (see picture 1) Spectra and the associated quantitative evaluations can be printed directly from the program.
By means of a hot key the displayed WORD report (see picture 2) is created; each user can adapt it according to his own requirement.
The MULTI report (see picture 3) is created individually; here again the options of the detailed WORD report, ASCII or HTML format are available.
IDFix – NumeriX
Specifications:
- Digital pulse processor system and includes the multichannel analyzer with 8192 channels as well as the voltage and high voltage supply for the EDX detector
- Processing of high-count rates with acceptable dead times
- Almost compatible with all EDX detectors
- Suitable for the modernization of older EDX devices
STRATAGem – The ultimate shift analysis program
Specifications:
- Calculation of layer thicknesses and their composition (one or more layers can be calculated)
- Calculation of the substrate composition
- Measurement of intensity ratio between unknown layer thicknesses and standard (EDX or WDX)
- Direct import of the measured values (Ix Istd ) for one or more high voltages into the program
STRATAGem – Calculation of the following graphics
Intensity via excitation voltage (picture 1)
Intensity via maximum ionization potential (picture 2)
Intensity over layer thickness
Iteration steps with associated error information
STRATAGem – can include two X ray lines per element in the calculation.
The lower-energy line for calculating the composition of the top layer, the higher-energy line is used for determining the layer thickness. It is also possible to use different standards at different excitation voltages for one element.

All functions of these devices remain after the DISS installation. The external DISS5 electronics generate the X and Y deflection voltages, digitize the analog image signals (SE, RE, KL) and/or count the pulses of an EDX or WDX system to generate elemental distribution images or concentration profiles.
The digitized images can be processed, labeled, measured, printed and stored.
