2.3.3.1.9. NXapm_ranging¶
Status:
base class, extends NXprocess
Description:
Base class for the configuration and results of ranging definitions. ...
Base class for the configuration and results of ranging definitions.
Ranging is a data post-processing step used in the research field of atom probe during which elemental, isotopic, and/or molecular identities are assigned to mass-to-charge-state ratios within certain intervals. The documentation of these steps is based on ideas that have been described in the literature:

peak_search_and_deconvolution: (optional) NXprocess
peak_identification: (optional) NXprocess
Details about how peaks, with taking into account ...
Details about how peaks, with taking into account error models, were interpreted as ion types or not.
number_of_ion_types: (optional) NX_UINT {units=NX_UNITLESS}
How many ion types are distinguished. If no ranging was performed, each ...
How many ion types are distinguished. If no ranging was performed, each ion is of the special unknown type. The iontype ID of this unknown type is 0 representing a reserved value.
Consequently, start counting iontypes from 1.

Assumed maximum value that suffices to store all relevant molecular ions, ...
Assumed maximum value that suffices to store all relevant molecular ions, even the most complicated ones that one can typically observe and distinguish typically. Currently, a value of 32 is used (see M. Kühbach et al. <https://doi.org/10.1017/S1431927621012241>`_).
