Extract

Instrument specifications as published by manufacturers generally include values for stability of various parameters or components. For an X-ray fluorescence system, a typical example might be the generator high voltage stability (perhaps 0.01%). Parameters of this sort are of course of some use in comparing systems, and they may be (and often are) of great importance to the manufacturer as a criterion of manufacturing quality. It is difficult for the user to know how any single one, or combination of these factors really affect the total system performance as it may relate to his application.
