2: Installing the LIBS System
Loading the Element Library
The element library enables you to identify the elements present in a sample by comparing the emission
lines detected in the sample to elements in a standard catalog.
► Procedure
To load the Element ID Library,
1. Select Library Options | Element ID | Load Library from the OOILIBS software menu.
2. Browse to the element catalog that you want to load. By default, the OOILIBS installation places
the catalog in Program Files | Ocean Optics | OOILIBS, unless you changed its location.
3. Select the file (*.spe) and click Open to load the file. It is recommended that you select the
OOISpeciesB.spe file since it contains more element lines than the OOISpecies.spe file.
You can check that the library has loaded successfully on the Peak Analysis screen.
► Procedure
To check that the Element ID Library has loaded successfully,
1. Select Mode | Peak Analysis from the menu. The Peak Analysis screen appears.
2. Verify that data from the Element ID Library appears in the Element Line List.
