Processing Templates

Mnova includes a powerful and flexible feature which allows the user to easily automate the full processing of ElViS data sets. This is ideal for the batch processing of spectra of the same type, and can also incorporate analysis operations.

For example, let's say you have acquired 20 datasets which you want to process using the same processing operations. The procedure is:

1. Load one spectrum and process it as desired.

2. Go to Processing/Processing Template. The following dialog appears:

UVIR_template

This dialog includes all the main processing features implemented in Mnova ElViS. From here, you can also change the units of your spectrum (Transmittance, Absorbance). You can choose the required options by selecting the applicable check boxes.

Clicking on the Report button will paste in your spectrum, the sequence of the processing features that you have applied:

report_elvis

3. Once you are happy with the result, save the script file to a Mnova Processing file (*.mnp) by clicking on the save button in the dialog box.

4. You can now apply this processing script file to any other spectrum/spectra by selecting the spectra you wish to process following this procedure (one or several spectra), and then opening the previously saved file by using the open command in the Processing Template dialog box.

A few helpful tips ...

1. If you want to apply a processing script to all the spectra opened in one document, first select all the spectra in all the pages.

2. Next you can simply go to Processing/Recent Processing Templates and select the appropriate processing file script.

3. Remember that only spectra acquired using the same conditions should be processed using a processing script file.
