Masks have been part of iolite since the early days, but we still regularly get questions about them. In this note, we will take a look at what a mask is and why you might want to use one, the ways you can make one, and what it looks like when things go right (and wrong).

One question that came up recently was how to get the results in weight percent oxide rather than ppm. In this note, we’ll go through one way you can do that using iolite’s python functionality.

We recently had a question about replacing values below 0 with 0 so I thought I’d write a quick note to demonstrate one way you can do that using iolite’s python functionality.

Using laser logs to help sort out what’s what in your data files is a significant time saver. Now, with iolite 4’s python API (see here and here for more info) you can do even more with your laser data!
