Calculation of Charge Balance using GSS

[Amy_]

Hi Tom,

 

When you calculate charge balance using GSS a screen pops up with two options:

 

Treat zero values as no data

and

Treat less than values as no data

 

If these boxes are not checked how does GSS handle zero values and less than values when calculating charge balance?

 

Thanks,

 

Amy

Hi Amy:

 

The boxes work as follows:

 

Treat zero values as no data:

• if checked, values are ignored
  
• if left unchecked, a zero value is used
  

 

Treat less than values as no data:

• if checked, values are ignored
  
• if left unchecked, the value after the '<' symbol is used, as with unit conversion. For instance, if value is '<.1', then a value of .1 is used.
  

 

You can always check how the calculation is going to proceed by choosing the same options in the Analysis - Launch feature, and seeing how the data are actually entered within the SpecE8 module.

 

I hope that helps,
