ESCA Calculations Inspector

ESCA stands for Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis and the items in the ESCA Inspector are special analysis functions for this method. For more information look up in the documentations which are mentioned in the Sources help file.

Shirley/Tougaard Background Subtraction
The two referent points can be defined directly or within the mouse mode Shirley Background.

The Find Y  button calculates an optimal Value  for Y Start  and Y End  by building the average for all points within the Interval which is specified in the X Int field. 

The Tougaard Background does not need the Y values.

The Result Mode and Background radio buttons instruct SciPlot what to do with the results of these manipulations: Overwrite the input buffer or create a new one, and either save the background itself or forgett it.

XPS Satellite Subtraction
This function calculates and subtracts the X-ray satellites form an X-ray photoelectron spectra. The excitation source can be selected with the Mg/Al button.

The Result Mode radio buttons instructs SciPlot what to do with the results of these manipulations: Overwrite the input buffer or create a new one.
