DIN ISO 22029:2024-11

This document presents a simple format for the exchange of digital spectral data that has been designated as an EMSA/MAS standard. This format is readable by both humans and computers and is suitable for transmission through various electronic networks, the phone system (with modems) or on physical computer storage devices (such as removable media). The format is not tied to any one computer, programming language or computer operating system. The adoption of a standard format enables different laboratories to freely exchange spectral data, and helps to standardize data analysis software. If equipment manufacturers were to support a common format, the microscopy and microanalysis community would avoid duplicated effort in writing data analysis software. This document contains the German translation of the International Standard ISO 22029:2022, which has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 202 "Microbeam analysis", the secretariat of which is held by SAC (China). The responsible German committee for this standard is Working Committee NA 062-08-18 AA "Elektronenmikroskopie und Mikrobereichsanalyse" ("Electron microscopy and microbeam analysis") at DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing (NMP).
