Pattern Recognition
Advanced pattern recognition enables fast , highly precise determination of the measurement locations . The software corrects the XY position whenever the X-ray beam is not 100 % within the feature boundaries .
Image details or patterns are set using a recognition menu .
The software then compares the measurement location with the standard . It is also possible to define multiple image details or patterns in order to obtain automated measurements on structures . This prevents errors from operators programming incorrect locations or from the sample stage not moving to
The Bowman L Series XRF from SciMed accommodates samples up to 550mm x 600mm ) x 330mm ( LxWxH ). the precise location of the small features .
Barcode Scanning
Using integrated magnification cameras , the software reads both 1D and 2D bar codes . Codes are stored in the database with the readings , or used to select a file for sample analysis . This feature is important where automation and error minimization is critical to ensure sample traceability . The barcode is able to “ teach ” the XRF which program to select for analysis , and what labels ( serial #, lot #, etc .) are to be stored with the data collected .
Standardized API for automation and data transfer
Automation API allows system integration with customer SCADA systems . Sample code and documentation is supplied for system integrators , allowing the user to write program logic and database interfaces to fully integrate the XRF system into an existing operation . With minimal knowledge of the inner control codes for the XRF system , the user has full control of measurement operation and sample measurement data .
