2.2.2  Switch to Age Calculation

Switching from the Raw Data Reduction view to the Age Calculation view while saving your calculations is very simple. To do so, you should select the File # Switch to Age Calculation (Ctrl+Tab) menu option. Your calculations will be automatically saved (see also: Saving Data Reductions) and, if not possible, you will be notified with a warning. This functionality allows you to reduce your argon mass spectrometry data and then directly switch to the age calculations to check on the results. During this switching you can always suppress the saving, if you hold down the SHIFT key.

Note   If you have been reducing data for a Blank sample and you make the switch, the data is not automatically added to an age calculation file, but instead to a text file based on the date of measurement (see also: Saving Data Reductions). To apply to reduced Blank measurements to your age calculations, please follow the instructions on the Editing Data in ArArCALC help page.
