The window shown in Figure 15 will pop up. Fill in the 'Position', 'Sample ID', 'Parameter File', and 'Raw File' columns.

********To keep updating from here******

  • Position (Figure 15B): This is the position of the sample in the loading magazine in the D4, from A1–A6 to K1–K6. Enter the position manually.
  • Sample ID (Figure 15C): Scan in the label for your sample here. The only format that MegaUploadaTron (MUT) will recognize is Site_Core_Top offset_Bottom offset_TextID (e.g., U1481A_32R4_91_92_QRND8021751). The barcode scanner in the XRD X-Ray Laboratory is programmed to scan in this exact format including underscores. For special treatments such as clay, glycol or heat treated, you must include the treatment in the file name. Add the treatment in the following way U1565A_1R1_3_4_clay_WDGE11053881.
  • Parameter File: This is a premade DQL file that sets the conditions under which samples will be scanned. Access the file by clicking on the "Open Directory" button (Figure 29D15E) This directs you to the Control Panel. Follow the path "Local Disk C: > DIFFDAT1. This has a list of all the parameter files from previous expeditions. Select the one that is best suited for your scan parameters.
  • Raw File: Sets the location where the results will be saved. Set the location by clicking on the three dots at the end of the cell. Then follow the path "Local Disk C: > DATA > IN". Copy the sample ID into the "Open" line in the window. The sample ID and the name entered into the "IN" Folder must be identical or else the information will not be stored correctly.
