allows to save all spectra during mapping (time-consuming !)
Online_StartCounts
some spectrometers need a certain number of calls to the CCD pixels before they give stable results. If you
set this number to any value less than 10 (e.g. Online_StartCounts =5) you will have to wait until 5 dummy
measurements have been done. If you use a short integration time it is recommended to use values of 5-
10. If you use a longer integration time and you do not want to wait for some seconds it is recommended to
set the value to zero (but be aware that the first 1-5 measurements may not be completely correct)
AdjustRecipes
True: the main menu will contain a possibility to change a certain parameter in ALL recipe or ini-files
simultaneously
Special_FFTLayer
for NanoCalc and special customer only
if any valid layer number is set to some number <> -1 (=default), the FFT result will be changed to get the
thickness result of this special layer and not the total sum of all layers (ask your software supplier for de-
tails).
There is also an application to extract the refraction index instead of thickness (ask your software supplier
for details).
Plot_After_FFT
for NanoCalc and special customer only
If this variable is set to FALSE only the FFT peak wil be plotted and not the extracted (=simulated) curve
YScale_FFTLayer
for NanoCalc and special customer only
this number gives a zoom factor for the main FFT peak (it can be changed within the software by pressing
the + and – buttons)
csvEXcelExport
you may enter csv oder xls (example: csvEXcelExport=csv). Csv is the well-known “comma separated
value” format.
csvEXcelSeparator
here you may enter the separator for the csv-format, like “;” oder”,” (example: csvEXcelSeparator=;)
csvExcelNumberFormatter
here you may enter the number formatter for the csv-format, like “,” oder”.” (example:
csvExcelNumberFormatter=.)
ExcelMargins_LRTB
To print Excel sheets: this sets Left, Right, Top,Bottom
UseShutter
If you need control over the shutter of the light source (True/False)
SpecialLambda
for NanoCalc and special customer only
UseClipBoard=True
To avoid copying measured data to clipboard
HideElliCalc
To avoid ElliCalc in windows taskline
StopMappingStage
To enable/disable the xy-motors after 1 step
SpectrometerSleepTime
A time in minutes. After this time the spectrometer is asked up to 10 times to “reactivate” it.
