TEAM Package Descriptions

Package : TEAM Collection

The TEAM package contains various tools specifically designed for TEAM

Sm a r t

collection of specimenchemistry in EDS and to obtain detailed crystallographic orientation in EBSD. The various tools are listed

below according to their functionality.

EDS/EBSD Collection tools

Spectrum OnlyTo survey the specimen and qualitatively measure EDS data.

includes:

Collect Spectra

Verify Data

S u r v e yTo survey the specimen for the EBSD patterns at various points of the image without actually saving them.

includes:

Image Area

Point Analysis This tool allows both crystallographic (via EBSD) and compositional (via EDS) data to be obtained at

specific locations on the sample.

includes:

Area Image

Collect /Data

Verify Data/Report

SimulationThere are three modes to aid users in visualizing and understanding crystallographic orientation data:

includes:

O rientation

Plane

Misorientation

M a ppi n g This tool allows both crystallographic (via EBSD) and compositional (via EDS) data to be obtained at points

on a grid and then color assigned to the points based on crystallography or composition to form a map.

This enables the distribution of specific crystallographic or compositional features to be visualized.

iincludes:

Area Image

Collect Data/Map

Verify Data/Report

Line ScanU sed to collect EDS line profile data across a selected region of the specimen.

includes:Image Area

Collect Line

Verify Data

Review Data Provides activities for the review, assessment and reporting of collected data.

includes:

Display O ptions

Report

Options

Drift Correction

A T E A MSm a r t

add on package to compensate for microscope beam drift during EDS data collection.

Off-Line/StandaloneO ption to install TEAM on a platform away from the EDS hardware and microscope.

Package : TEAM EDS Analysis

The TEAM EDS Analysis package contains two sets of features for the analysis of data obtained using TEAM

EDS Collection.

includes:

EDS Review for purely spectral analysis

Maps Review for element and phase map reconstruction & analysis.

Line Scan Overlay on Image :

Now as a defau lt, wh en lin escan data is collected th e lin escan data will be drawn atop th ec o l l ec t e d i m a ge , m a k i n g c o r r el a t i o n be t w e e n t he i m a g e a n d d a t a e a s y . S i m p l y b y c l i c k i n gu pon th e small image will switch th e view to ju st th e lin e profiles bein g drawn inmealtime.

Line Scan creation from Spectrum Map Dataset :

After a map h as been collected you can n ow extract an y lin e from th e map. Th ere iso p ti o n t o s u m mu l t ip l e p o i nt s in x / y f r o m th e m a p t o im p r o v e t h e a c c u r a c y o f t h e l i ne x -ray data.

Phase List Libraries :

Th is advan ced featu re for x-ray mappin g collection s allows you to u se th e same ph ase

library as was u sed in a previou s an alysis. It also allow's you to c reate a ph ase libraryf ro m a s e r i e s o f s pe c t r a .

Added French Language display support as the 5th language available for the

TEAM Softw are.

Added the ability to customize the Reports title. This option is only available if

you use the login of "service" w ith a passw ord of "team" . After that use yournormal login to create reports w ith the new title you've created.

Added “TEAM Smart Touch” a new hardw are / softw are option w hich gives touchscreen functionality allow ing the user to control various TEAM softw are GUIelements w ith more than one finger and / or device up to x number of fingers /devices dependent on hardw are limitations. This is currently only supported bycontainers in the dynamic reporting feature. This option includes the softw areoption key and 21” display monitor.

Bug Fixes & Changes

− Created User Preference Option : Startup Animation , so if you so select you can disablethe animation and start using the TEAM Software sooner

− Montage review mode UI changes:1. Show & highlight field numbers2. Load Field data via right-click on field highlighted3. Load Point spectrum via left-click on highlighted field4. Show phase spectra as done with normal mapping

− The TEAM software (V1.1.55 or later) was updated to use Microsoft SQL 2008 Express

R2. This means you must install the new SQL R2to run the latest version of TEAM. The default named instance of “ S QL E X P R E S S ” is no

longer used, and instead “ S QL E D A X ” will be used.

− Added S a v e C S V function to Quant Result window directly below the Save (Excel) XLSfunction.

− Improvements made to “Genesis-Mouse” spectrum move tracking.

− TFS #399 : Added the word " I ma g e " next to the FOV in the Standard Mapping report.

− Added the system setup UI which allows for a "Collect Image Delay (ms)" time delay before collecting an image on live systems in order to fix the corrupted field of view issue.

This option is only available using the “service” - "team" login, under the Tier-II ImageAdvanced section. .

− Fixed bug #279: Element window is no longer modal when opened from spectrum view.

− Bug Fix #268: Default Status Bar Items

− Bug Fix #238 : Save Genesis Mouse setting per user.

− Bug Fix #234: Can now double click on text or icon in project tree.

− Fixed crash starting TEAM on Windows-XP German operating system.

− Fixed problem in Maps Review that the size of the Reduced Area Spectral collections from

TEAM were too large.

− Added Multifield Map Normalization.

* Slight improvement in quality of exported reports.

Improvement in slow x-ray mapping w hich previously had a minimum time

of 100 milliseconds. Slow X-ray mapping on Genesis / ORBIS and TEAMLinescancollections should now be possible dow n to 20 milliseconds per point.Using this faster collection at high count rates may produce a few data pointsw ithout data.

N VRAM Corruption - Added softw are to improve reliability of reading N et
