Save Statistics

Use the Geochem Analysis > Save Statistics option (CHPRSTAT GX) to print Assay channel statistics to a CSV file.

Output Assay Channel Statistics to a File dialog options

Mask channel

Select a mask channel from the dropdown list. If the use of the mask channel is enabled, and set to this channel, only those data values whose corresponding mask channel value is not a dummy will be plotted or exported. Channels must have their CLASS attribute set to MASK to appear as selections in the drop-down list. If the mask channel does not exist, it will be created with its CLASS attribute set to MASK. The default mask channel is set from the CHPREFERENCES GX (Geochem Import/Preferences...). Script Parameter: CHPRSTAT.MASK
