5.5.1.9. Gamma Total...
As of v6.08, GammaVision supports the EDF’s Gamma Total calculations and report file output.

Figure 179 shows the Gamma Total/EDF Reports Setting dialog. The filenaming conventions for the four EDF output file types are discussed on page 188. In addition to these output files you will also be creating
.SPC
format spectrum files, as discussed below. These will be stored in the location specified for spectra in File/Settings... (Section 5.1.1.4).
NOTE
Gamma Total report filenames are keyed to the MCB ID number assigned during
MCB configuration. Before performing these analyses, see the discussion on the assignment of MCB ID numbers on page 11 in Section 2.3.2. If you have more than
10 MCBs, or MCBs with the same final digit in their instrument ID, be sure it is possible to identify which results files correspond to each particular MCB.
Gamma Total analyses can be performed on live spectra or on stored
.SPC
spectrum files. The
Gamma Total setup is saved with the
.SPC
file. When you recall a spectrum file previously used for Gamma Total analysis, the Gamma Total dialog will display the analysis settings in effect when the spectrum was saved. These settings can be changed as desired for reanalysis (however, the new settings will not be saved with the spectrum unless you re-save the
.SPC
file).

Fig. 179. Gamma Total Setup Dialog Configured for Gamma
Total Reporting.
Each analysis produces one or more characteristic output files, as discussed in the following section. In addition, an EDF Special Applications Report section is added to the end of the standard GammaVision report (see Section 7.8). This table lists the Gamma Total settings used in the analysis, and the quantitative results. If the EDF Table Only box is marked, the standard
report contains only the header information and the EDF Special Applications Report table.
Otherwise, the EDF table is included on the standard report, along with the other report options specified on the Report tab under Analyze/Settings/Sample Type... (page 156).
To turn off the EDF table in the GammaVision report, unmark all reporting options before the
next analysis.
Gamma Total analyses are typically predicated on an energy range of 100 keV to 2 MeV. If you use a different energy range, you might wish to adjust the Integration Range on the Gamma
Total dialog accordingly.
