ETU – Introduction
Why a complex instrument should use a complex interface ? Trying to address this question leads us to rethink all of our softwares to turn them really easy to use. We had to forget all the way we develop softwares since decades and from a white paper, we imagined a new design that can hold advanced functionality together with intuitive touch-screen control in a unique window.
After years of works and reflexion we are proud to introduce you Cameca Tactis ETU software ! Tactis ETU is part of PeakSight 6.3 and later versions and offers new users experiences to the SX- FIVE Tactis community.
Tactis allows to have a one-screen access to the main PeakSight functionalities. Controls surround the real time imaging screen (RTI) that displays optical and electronic images but also X-rays maps. Settings for experiment are available through the five tabs ‘Setup/Stage’, ‘µscope’, ‘SEM’, ‘X-Live’, ‘X-Map’ and ‘Quanti’.
As we created a new efficient tool dedicated for microanalysis we wanted also to offer you a new experience for support and assistance. That’s why we developed a new generation of helpdesk, focused on step-by-step action description. This helpdesk is a giant tutorial that will guide you all along your analysis from the optical observation to the chemical quantification.
