Project Releases

Fixed a bug in the baseline subtraction tool. Made minor changes to the graphical user interface of the thickness calculation tool.

Fixed a bug with the listbox in the baseline subtraction tool.

This XPST release is made specifically for Igor 7!

Made navigation in the experiment more easy. Now, the Fit Assistant does not have to be closed if the active data folder in the experiment is changed.
Added more content to the help files.

Modified some help files. No change to the program.

Removed the approximation of K from the thickness calculation panel - for unexperienced people, it was too easy to make things wrong at this point.
Ideally, K is obtained by a calibration measurement, although it is possible to estimate it.

Corrected a typo in the thickness calculation panel.

Added a word of caution to the user interface for thickness calculation. The literature values for the relatvie sensitivity factors my not be suitable for all types of spectrometers.

Added the function SetFreeCursors() and some more details about Tougaard's background.

Improved the accuracy of logical constraints between peaks (the old accuracy was ~ 0.5 %), now the value should be in the range of 0.001%.
Note: Constraints in Igor fits can actually be violated(!), they are not 'hard'. XPST can not change this basic feature of Igor. The accuracies given here are only for not-violated constraints.
If you need hard constraints, consider using the multiplet function.

Added a few cosmetic changes to the intial release. Functionality has not changed.

This is the first public release of XPStools. Although it was thoroughly tested with Igor 6.36 (on a PC and Mac), it should also work with Igor 6.01.
Using it with Linux and Wine did not work nicely - but feel free to give it a try.
