Applying Settings

The Apply button lets you apply the settings that you define in the Settings dialog boxes for each acquisition type. This has a few different uses.

One use is to define acquisition settings and then save them in an AugerScan document by clicking on the Apply button. The settings are then associated with the AugerScan document. Then, at a later time, you can acquire the data by making this AugerScan document active and then either select the Start command or click on the Start button (Auge0002.gif).

Another use is specific to when you are using a 20-075 multiplier supply to acquire an AES depth profile or an AES multiplex. The Apply button lets you first determine specific settings for your acquisitions while simultaneously acquiring an alignment to determine the correct multiplier voltage. This use of the Apply button is documented in the procedures for acquiring AES depth profiles and multiplexes.

A third use is to create a AugerScan document template . This allows you to use the same settings repeatedly without having to re-enter them manually.
