Quantitative analysis routines based on the Bence-Albee, the ZAF, and the {Phi}({rho}Z) techniques are available for the TASK8 microprobe operating system. All of the routines are able to be run from within TASK8 or as stand alone programs. For quick analyses, energy dispersive x-ray data can be collected and processed by running the Tracor standardless quantitative (SQ) routine from within TASK8. For normal analyses, data are collected via the wavelength spectrometers. The procedures and routines described in this document permit the interactive collection and processing of data via joystick control or the automatic collection and processing of data from up to seven line traces or an essentially unlimited number of preselected points. 7 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab.
