2 Scenarios Format
To make it easier for you to perform several spectrum processing operations they can be saved to
a .lsc – file in the developed scenario format. Scenarios files are located in the directory specified by the
Scenario folder configuration setting of the Files location category (see [1] ).
The sequence of the spectrum processing operations is saved to the .lsc-file in text format.
Variables, commands and comments are used to write scenarios.

Variable The „$‟ character must be the first variable character.

Variable format: $varname=value
Command Any character can be the first, except for ';' and '$'.
Command format: command(par1, par2, ..., parN).
Comment The „;‟ character must be the first comment character.

Note: The list of available commands can be changed depending on the program version and delivery
set. Contact our support service for detailed information.

3 Commands
activity(
Activity calculation
methodname, – method name
showresults - activity calculation results indication flag
);
Parameters:
methodname – method name. The following methods are
available:
- Matrix – calculation on the basis of the matrix algorithm;
- ZoneByZone – sequential zones fitting with calculation of
nuclides activity;
- AllZones – is similar to ZoneByZone method but all zones
are fitted simultaneously;
- AllZonesSew – is similar to AllZones method but the
additional restriction is imposed at fitting: peak background and
its first derivative are continuous in points of intervals boundaries;
Activity calculation methods are detailed in section
«Scenarios of activity calculation» of the document [2].
showresults – activity calculation results indication flag. The
following values are possible:
- 0 or argument absence – calculation results are not shown;
- 1 or any greater than 0 number – calculation results are
shown.

methodname, - method name
configuration
[nuclide1 nuclide2 ... nuclideN], - nuclides list

inifilename - ini-file with settings
postcalc – post-operations
);
Parameters:
methodname – method name. The following methods are
available:
- alpharad:
- alphalsrm.
Both methods use the function parametric representation for
alpha-spectra processing (see the manual [2]). Spectrum of every
alpha-emitted isotope line is represented by the combination of
asymmetric Gauss distribution, exponent and hyperbola. These
functions are combined using the conditions of the function and
its first derivative continuity. They are different in the way of the


2
- functional minimization and processing rate. The alphalsrm
method requires less time for calculation but it provides reliable
results only if the initial and real model approximations don‟t
diverge considerably. The alpharad method depends lesser on
the initial approximation.
[nuclide1 nuclide2 ... nuclideN] – list of nuclides for activity
calculation in the square brackets separated with white space
or semicolon character. The nuclides library must contain
these nuclides. If the list is empty, the following nuclides are
used (in the priority decreasing order):
- nuclides from the spectrum file;
- nuclides from the CAParam.ini file in the configuration
directory;
- nuclides from the CAParam.ini file in the CalcAlpha directory;
- all library nuclides.
leftenergy, rightenergy – left and right processing bounds in
keV. If not specified, the following values are used (in the
priority decreasing order):
© “LSRM” Ltd SpectraLine – Scenarios. User‟s Manual
Scenarios Format 3-3

- values from the spectrum file;

- values from the CAParam.ini file in the configuration
directory;
- values from the CAParam.ini file in the CalcAlpha directory;
Detection efficiency from the spectrum is used. If not specified,
the following values are used (in the priority decreasing order):
- value in accordance with the spectrum geometry, in the
configuration settings;
- the first value in the configuration settings. If no detection
efficiency is specified in the configuration settings, the error
message box is displayed.
inifilename – ini-file with settings. The .ini – file structure should
be the same as the CAParam.ini file structure. If specified, the
values in it substitute the following parameters:
[nuclide1 nuclide2 ... nuclideN], leftenergy, rightenergy.
postcalc – the combination of post-operations flags. The sum of
the following values is calculated::
0 – no operation is executed after activity calculation,
1 – peak pattern section is calculated;
2 – pattern is displayed on the spectrum.
Examples:
alphaactivity(alpharad, [],,,,0) – activity is calculated by the
alpharad method, nuclides from the spectrum and processing
bounds default values are used.
alphaactivity(alpharad, [],,, Alpha\Data\Alpha.ini,0) – the
parameters values are in the Alpha\Data\Alpha.ini file (relative to
the main program directory).
alphaactivity(alpharad, [Pu-238], 5000, 6000,,0) – activity is
calculated by the alpharad method for Pu-238, processing
bounds are 5000 keV and 6000 keV.
alphaactivity(alphalsrm, [U-234 U-236], 4000, 5000,,0) –
activity is calculated by the alphalsrm method for U-234 and U-
236, processing bounds are 4000 keV and 5000 keV.

Parameters are initialized, the energy calibration is done for the etalon source, concentration of the
etalon source is calculated and the calibration is saved to the configuration parameters in the following
scenario:

geotechinit(100, 130, 210, 250, 320, 360, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
