EDX Experiment Design and Execution Module automates spectroscopic data collection and chemometric model development. Without requiring duplicate manual data entry, functionality allows spectra to be collected using Symbion LX, DX, or RX and transferred directly to Symbion QT chemometrics. During collection, user can add variables, create component values spreadsheet, and annotate memo block for each spectrum. Users can also, upon deployment, add multiple trends based on calculations.
