The performance and calibration of an XPS instrument can change with time. Changes may be gradual so that users may not notice them from day to day unless they actively compare the current performance of the instrument with its recently optimized performance. This publication describes a method by which such a comparison may be made very rapidly. A tool, based on a Microsoft Excel workbook, has been made available to assist in the comparison and to highlight aspects of an instrument's performance which might have changed significantly. The whole procedure is rapid, minimizing the impact on both instrument availability and user time. This means that it may be followed frequently without significantly affecting laboratory throughput.

该程序可以快速，频繁地检查XPS仪器的性能和校准

XPS仪器的性能和校准会随时间变化。更改可能是渐进的，因此用户可能每天都不会注意到它们，除非他们积极地将仪器的当前性能与其最近优化的性能进行比较。该出版物描述了一种可以非常迅速地进行这种比较的方法。提供了一个基于Microsoft Excel工作簿的工具，可以帮助进行比较并突出显示可能已发生重大变化的仪器性能的各个方面。整个过程快速，最大程度地减少了对仪器可用性和用户时间的影响。这意味着可以经常遵循它，而不会显着影响实验室的通量。
