MCBs) or one Detector at a time (Current MCB); or asks if you wish to stop data collection in one or all displayed Detectors (Prompt).
5.2.5. Clear
Clear erases the spectral data and the descriptors (e.g., real time, live time, start time) for the currently active Detector or buffer window. The presets are not altered. Because the Group
Acquisitions setting in the Acquisition Settings dialog applies to Detector windows only, this command operates differently in Detector windows than in buffer windows. If a buffer window is active, Clear erases only that buffer window, regardless of how many buffer windows are open. However, if a Detector window is active, Clear simultaneously clears all displayed Detectors (All MCBs), erases only the active Detector window (Current MCB); or asks if you wish to clear one or all displayed Detectors (Prompt).
This command might not operate on some types of Detectors when they are collecting data. The data can also be cleared with <Alt+ 3>, the Clear Spectrum button on the toolbar, or the Clear command on the right-mouse-button menu.
5.2.6. Copy to Buffer
The Copy to Buffer function transfers the data and descriptors (e.g., live time, real time), from the active Detector window to a new buffer window. This function can also be performed with
<Alt + 5> or the Copy to Buffer command on the right-mouse-button menu.
5.2.7. List Mode
This toggles the current Detector’s data acquisition mode between PHA mode and list mode
(Section 1.6). This function can also be performed with the List Mode toolbar button.
5.2.8. QA
This is explained in Chapter 8, “Quality Assurance.”
5.2.9. Download Spectra...
This command supports standalone MCBs such as Detective

, and the legacy DART

, and is used to download the spectra from the MCB to the computer disk. Note that downloading the spectra does not erase them from the MCB.
The files are stored in the directory and spectrum file format specified in the dialog under File/
Settings (Section 5.1.1), and are named according to this format: sss iiiiiiii ddddddddd ttttttttt.ext
