Deconvolute XRay Command

XPS data is often affected by the signal contribution of the x-ray source line width. Deconvolution produces sharper peaks and aids in identifying the exact energy of peaks. Deconvolution is only supported for Mg and Al x-ray sources.

To deconvolute the x-ray line width from XPS data, simply select the Deconvolute X-Ray Line command from the Data menu.

To change the number of iterations the computer uses to deconvolute the x-ray line, select the Options command from the Data menu. A typical value is 2. Additional iterations may produce more noise in the spectra. You may wish to experiment with this value to see what number produces the best result for your data.
