Group Editor
The purpose of the group editor is to group samples together into convenient units. We show two examples of the group editor here, for multiple nuclides and generating new calibration sets.
Multiple Nuclides
If you have a sample with 10Be and 26Al concentrations, the group editor allows you to place them side by side. In the group editor make a new group and add the two imported samples:

Here we have grouped the 10Be and 26Al results into one sample group called SPA-O-2 which can then be used as a filter in the ACE main panel:

With this new filter the user can focus on these samples, especially when comparing ages from experiments:

The group editor only shows results relevant to this sample and makes it easy for the values generated here toe be used in ACE’s multiple nuclide utility:

Calibration Sets
The group editor also makes it easy to make subsets of existing calibration datasets. Here we take the original 14C calibration dataset of Miller et al (2006) and create a new group which only contains samples above 700:

When we have made this new group it becomes available as a calibration dataset in the Experiment Editor:
