Extract

An X-ray fluorescence program, similar to NRLXRF2 has been written by John Criss to fit into the DEC LSI-11 32K computer with floppy disk system. EDAX has combined the new version with our own software to create a set of FORTRAN programs, called “XRAY 95” to use with the new EDAX EXAM 9500 energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence system. The XRAY 95 program employs both fundamental-parameter equations and influence coefficient equations to optimize the matrix corrections for multicomponent samples. It is an extremely versatile program, using whatever reference standards the user provides and supplementing them with physical theory. The result is a practical approach to fast, accurate analysis.
