This manual is intended as a guide for the post-processing of AZtec EDS data. There will be no discussion on optimization of parameters for live acquisition, responsive processing during analysis, or settings to be adjusted prior to data acquisition. The intent is to provide guidance on only those tasks that can be performed on previously collected data. For assistance optimizing live data acquisition parameters, please consult the AZtec EDS manual at each microscope, locate an SEM manager, or contact SEM staff via the emails listed below. AZtec projects can only be read from a local drive and cannot be opened directly from a shared drive. To open an AZtec project on the Post-Processing PCs or your own computer, copy the entire project folder (both the.oipx project file AND the data folder must be copied) and paste to a local (C: or removeable) drive or to the PC Desktop. To access the latest version of AZtec on your personal computer, please complete the virtual AZtec EDS training. Instructions for setting up the software on your own PC will be provided once training has been completed. Please note, only 50 users can access the network license at a time. If you're not actively using the software, please close it to make space for others. You must be connected to the Northwestern VPN to access the network license.
