Remove Background
Remove BackgroundThis allows the user to subtract the background. AutomaticThe automatic background removal dynamically previews the background based on the Sonneveld-Visser algorithm [1]. Repeats: The number of times to iterate through the background subtraction algorithm. Grid Size: The percentage of total points to analyze for determining the background.
ManualThe manual background removal allows the user to add background points used for constructing the background. Add Points: With this selected, clicking on areas of the graph will add background points. These background points are then used to dynamically create a background curve. Delete Points: With this selected, clicking on background points will remove them from the background. Use Cubic Spline: This will use a cubic spline interpolation when creating the background curve.
Data smoothing, α2 stripping
SmoothThis allows the user to smooth the data based on the simplified least squares Savitzky-Golay algorithm [2]. Window Size: The moving window size used for polynomial fitting. Polynomial Order: The polynomial order degree used for smoothing.
Strip Kα2This strips the Kα2 profile based on the Modified Rachinger algorithm [3].
Find peaks
Find Peaks (Automatic)This will automatically find peaks in the experimental data using the 2nd derivative algorithm. This process can be fine-tuned by manually adding and removing peaks directly on the graph. Intensity Limit: The minimum intensity percentage threshold for detecting peaks. Derivative Limit: The minimum 2nd derivative percentage threshold for detecting peaks. The 2nd derivative of the experimental data is not visually shown on the graph. Use Noise Limit: Whether or not to use the calculated noise [1] as a threshold for detecting peaks. Window Size: The moving window size for polynomial fitting during the 2nd derivative calculation. Min Peak 2θ: The 2θ (°) value to start finding peaks. Any peaks before this 2θ value will be ignored. Window Size: The moving window size for polynomial fitting during the 2nd derivative calculation. Use Noise Limit: Whether or not to use the calculated noise [1] as a threshold for detecting peaks. Intensity Limit: The minimum intensity percentage threshold for detecting peaks. Derivative Limit: The minimum 2nd derivative percentage threshold for detecting peaks. The 2nd derivative of the experimental data is not visually shown on the graph.
