As seen in the screendump below, the experiment consists of a survey spectrum and a series of high resolution spectra
To start analysing the data we will start by looking at the survey spectrum. Open a new processing document by clicking the button in the toolbar to the left as shown below:

XPS data processing guide

This section shows all actions performed with Avantage (version 5.498) during an analysis of a sample.


Open data and save the processing document

Locate the .VGX file in the experiment data tree. Either open the experiment by selecting 'Open Experiment' in Avantage, or double click on the .VGX file. You will see something like this:

It is a very good idea to save the processing document as you analyze the data (Avantage may crash some times) - to do so, select 'Save Processing Document' and you analysis will be saved as a .VGD file.

Survey spectrum and depth profile

To start analysing the data we will start by looking at the survey spectrum. Open a new processing document by clicking the button in the toolbar to the left as shown below:

Then drag the survey spectrum into one of the quadrants in the data grid as shown below:
