1. TSG Scalar Groups:

            Where you see this and how to use it….

1. In the New Scalar dialogue (in the Edit menu) you can select the group to assign the new scalar to, this is a new field below the “Slot” field.  If you don’t select a group TSG will automatically assign the scalar to a group it thinks appropriate.

2. In the Scalar Items list, all scalars will be assigned to a group either automatically or by the user. Right click for a pop up menu with some sorting options as well.

3. As a new entry in the Edit menu select “Scalar Names and Groups….” This dialogue will allow you to drag and drop scalars into new groups, rename the scalars (double click on the existing name) and also see some details of the new scalars.

2. Log screen class edit:

Where you see this and how to use it….

1. In the Log Screen, click the right hand mouse button to get the pop up menu, there is a new entry called “Class Browse Edit…”

2. Under the Edit menu there is also an entry for “Class Browse Edit…”

3. The Log screen’s class editing tool allows you to edit the entries in a user class scalar or to populate a new user class scalar with your own defined classes. It is totally interactive and allows you to select individual spectra or intervals of spectra and assign them to your own class. 

4. A User Class scalar can be created using the New scalar... option under the Edit menu, and can either be blank (i.e. with no entries, ready for adding your own classes) or created as a copy of another class scalar (e.g., one of the TSA classes).  Alternatively, you can get a user-class scalar by importing alphanumeric data from a spreadsheet using one of TSG's import-scalar methods.  Such a scalar will already contain class entries from the external data.  Once the Class Scalar exists, it can be interactively edited in the Log screen.

1.  TSA allowed minerals and mixtures:

Where you see this and how to use it….

1. File menu > Settings then select the TSA tab, and “Allowed Minerals and Mixtures” button.

2. This will display a matrix with the TSA minerals along the x and y axes and mixtures of two minerals represented by boxes within the matrix.

3. To deselect a mineral click on its bright green box along the y axis which will turn it off in all TSA matches, leaving a grey cross on the matrix.

4. To deselect a particular co-occurrence of two minerals click on one of the boxes in the middle of the matrix where the two minerals occur together. A red/pinkish box represents where a mineral or mineral mixture is deselected.

2.  VLines:

Where you see this and how to use it….

1. Spectrum screen: at the top of the screen there is a new VLines button, click this to open the dialogue.

2. In the floater screen there is a VLines entry in the View menu.

3. Enable the different lines, and place them either by entering the actual wavelength or by moving them via the slider bar. You can also label the wavelength move the label up or down and also change the colour of the Vline and label so they are not too intrusive.
