Map Size pixel issue. Cant see maps and slow processing

JanFalk

Dear Iolite Team,
I have encouterd a strange probleming during data processing of trace elements maps.

I have a data and log file with 2 seperate maps. In one map I can see the maps in a normal way and edit color schemes etc. In the other map (in the same project) maps are shown in really small sizes. Even on maximum size settings they are so small that they are overlayed by the Channel name. In addition data processing in this map is extramly slow and crashes regularly.
The only difference between both maps I made out is the Width & Height settings. The working ones has values ₈₀₀ µm, wheras the other one has values _30000µm which is definityl not the true size. However, I can also not change the size settings?
Any idea how to resolve this?

Cheers

Jan

Hi Jan,

I've seen this a few times, and it almost always is that one of your selections is including a bit of where the laser is moving back to the reference materials. Because the selection includes these x, y values, the image space becomes much larger and takes longer to process.
I would check to make sure that no selections for the image scan lines extend beyond the data (even a point or two when the laser is moving quite fast to return to the RMs can produce this effect).
If you can't easily find it, I can explain some additional steps to help highlight where it is happening, but it does require a bit of python, so please let us know if you need the additional steps.
Kind regards,
Bence

Thanks Bence, You are totaly right! Problem sovled
The last selection (only one) from the map was randomly overlapping with a later standard.
Deleting/Moving the selection sovled the issue instantly.
Cheers!
