2.3.10  Import Additional Experiment

You can also Combine Multiple Experiments in single ArArCALC age calculation workbooks, when using the Options # Import Additional Experiment menu item. This functionality allows you to combine analyses from co-magmatic mineral separates (e.g. plagioclase and hornblende) from one rock sample into a single isochron calculation. Also, multiple total fusion experiments for one flux monitor standard can be merged into one calculation. Finally, this functionality allows you to combine or directly compare sample splits measured in different laboratories or from different irradiations.

Note   ArArCALC will normalize the J-value for each added experiment to the J-value of the first listed experiment in that workbook. When calculating flux monitors, you also can import additional experiments from other flux monitors or age standards. A similar normalization will be applied, although to the standard age in this case.
