In QCX Recipe editor it is possible to set up a Reference items that uses data from different equipment.
For example: An XRF measures the standard oxides and then there is an offline entry that contains for instance Free Lime. Then it is possible to set up that C3S is calculated as a reference item using the main oxides from the XRF and the Free LIme from the offline equipment.
In the example on the image an LSF_test formular have been created that needs data from both the offline and the XRF. The Referenced item have to be at the top level else it dont work.

Example of setting up a derived item using it as a reference item in QCX Recipe editor
The recipe have to be set up as on the example on image 1 so all the procudures are linked directly to the top level (here the Test).
It cannot be set up as two seperate lines (see image 2 below) because then the data entered for the offline (in this example) is not in communication with the XRF and therefore the wanted referenced item (in this case: LSF_Test) will not be updated.

Wrong way to set up the recipe for referenced items!
