Raw Data- Counts per channel and regions of interest which can be automatically
set by the analyzer (or omitted entirely if desired). These are normally
very large files (>200k). Only one region of interest is shown here,
formatted with several entries on a line.

This data is followed by region of interest computations
for each region; only region 6 is given here.

Regions of Interest
(set up by analyzer to include all peaks) This file presents exactly
the region of interest data included in the Raw data file above. (These
too are long files, but about 800 lines shorter than the raw data because
data for each channel is not included.)
Peak Report
This file has an entry for each peak located in the spectrum. The example
here shows only the headings and region 6.

NAA Report Formats
.PRN File Format
This is a short portion of a text file formatted NAA report which can be viewed or printed. The NAA reports include only photopeaks selected by the analyst. Order is alphabetic by element symbol.

CDL file.
This is a short portion of the comma and " delimited flat text
file which can be imported to most database or spreadsheet programs. Fields are separated by commas, and text is enclosed in "". It
includes the same information shown immediately above, but the heading
information is repeated at the beginning of each line. The lines are wider than the screen for most viewers, so each line is broken and a blank line is placed before each entry to show the extent of each data line.
