To select the display, expand the peak ID portion of the control panel. “ElemOnly” will show the element’s symbol only (Fe, for example). The Shell will add whichline is shown (FeK, for example) and the “Trans” (or transition) will show whether thepeak is an alpha, beta, etc. When “Alpha Lines Only” is checked, only the alpha peak ofeach series will be displayed.
