Description
The program ArArCALC provides an interactive interface to data reduction in 40Ar/39Ar geochronology. ArArCALC is coded within Visual Basic for Excel 97-2000 using datasheets, charts, menus and dialogboxes. All 40Ar/39Ar age calculations are reported in single Excel workbooks. ArArCALC can be used online or offline during mass spectrometry and includes three different utilities within one program: (1) curved or linear data regression, (2) age calculation, and (3) J-value calculation. These utilities fully interact with each other providing a high level of automation. ArArCALC also allows for editing of all input data, parameters and constants used in the calculations at all times. ArArCALC is provided as freeware. |
