The Usage of COMPRO12 (part 1)

Abstract

We have been constructing the spectral data processing system named Common Data Processing System (COMPRO) under VAMAS (Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards) umbrella since 1989. COMPRO is designed to be a program to convert an original spectral data file structure to ISO formats, to assess the data processing procedures proposed by scientists, to calibrate energy and intensity scales according to ISO standards, to check a spectrum, and to build both spectra and correction factor databases. In this system, the spectral data acquired on different instruments and/or computers can be compared to one another.
COMPRO has been upgraded many times, and the latest one is Version 12 (COMPRO10), which runs on Windows 7, 8 and 10. In this lectures, the usage of COMPRO12 will be explained with the basic introduction of algorithms used in COMPRO.
