Editing Line Scans

After a line scan acquisition has been acquired, you can remove regions and/or apply topographic correction to the line scan. To do so, open the line scan for viewing, and click Line Scan from the Edit menu.

Removing a Region

To remove a region, select the region from the list, and click the Remove button. Note that this operation cannot be undone after you dismiss the dialog, so if you are just removing a region for easier viewing or a particular printout, save the file first.

Topographic Correction

The Apply Topographic Correction checkbox allows you the option of correcting the elemental regions of a line scan sample topography. This is done by dividing the peak-background by the square of the background. Only elemental regions that have acquired background data can be corrected.
