horae-045
by Bruce Ravel 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

Hey, It's been a busy week. I just posted another new tarball. This fixes: 1. The bug Norbert reported in Athena's file selection dialog (this bug does not exist in the current build of the windows executable, so there is not pressing need to update it) 2. The problem Igor reported with importing project files from the previous version of the development branch of Artemis 3. A bug in the build scripts that resulted in not being able to use the Atoms page in the development branch of Artemis. New tarballs are at SourceForge and at my web site. As before, this release is mostly intended for people following the development branch of Artemis. Thanks to Norbert, Igor, and Carlo for their help. Hopefully this one will work better than the last two...... ;-) B -- Bruce Ravel ----------------------------------- ravel(a)phys.washington.edu Code 6134, Building 3, Room 405 Naval Research Laboratory phone: (1) 202 767 2268 Washington DC 20375, USA fax: (1) 202 767 4642 NRL Synchrotron Radiation Consortium (NRL-SRC) Beamlines X11a, X11b, X23b National Synchrotron Light Source Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973 My homepage: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel EXAFS software: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/

Hi all I have tried horae_update... but it doesn't work... in fact, Artemis remains stuck to version 0.7.007, Athena to version 0.8.029 and so on. As if there was no update! I really don't know what I can do to make Artemis and Athena work. If anyone has any idea, one is welcome.

(The >script just automates those steps, it does not do anything different.) I confirm what Bruce says: running horae_update_042 (sudo horae_update) on my G5 (I haven't yet installed 045) fixes all my previously mentioned problems. All run smoothly. However, what makes me more puzzeling is that I don't obtain the same results (using of course all the same parameters) from Artemis compared to those I have found using Feffit in command line (Unix version).

rpm packages of horae, ifeffit, sixpack
by Carlo U. Segre 10 Oct '04

10 Oct '04

Hello All: I realized that there was a low cost method for me to generate *.rpm packages from my *.deb packages. I make no promises on how these will install or work and I really won't be able to do much to fix them since they are generated automatically but please let me know if they are useful or not working. You can get all the programs in my x-ray software archive at: http://fermi.phys.iit.edu/debian/rpm/ If anyone knows how best to make these available in an automated way please let me know and I will try to implement it. BTW: all these packages are comversions from the Debian "unstable" tree, which has the latest libraries and files. This is most likely the best version to work with Fedora. Cheers, Carlo -- Carlo U.

Hi Ann, I think this should have been to the Ifeffit list: On Thu, 7 Oct 2004, Ann Liang wrote: > Hi Bruce or Matt, > > I encountered some problems with athena when I recently switched my > workstation from PC to Mac.

I assume you installed the Mac installer (ifeffit-1.2.6_Mac10.3.dmg). I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'd recommend these steps: First, install Aquaterm from http://aquaterm.sourceforge.net/ . That might 'just fix' the problem. If it doesn't, edit the file /Applications/Ifeffit/bin/iff_init.sh to read (line 7) export PGPLOT_DEV=/XS instead of export PGPLOT_DEV=/AQT (Make sure to leave no extra space around the = sign). That will tell Ifeffit to use X-Window graphics instead of Aquaterm. The Aquaterm device is a little bit nicer, but the X-Windows one should definitely work. If you're running athena by clicking the icon, that should be enough. If you're running athena by typing 'athena' in a Terminal, _and_ you're using the tcsh shell, you should also edit /Applications/Ifeffit/bin/iff_init.csh to read setenv PGPLOT_DEV /XS (Here, the space is necessary and there is no = sign!! The syntax for these two shells is different, but the meaning is the same). Hope that's enough, and sorry for the pain. If not let me know, --Matt

Athena bug?
by Carlo U. Segre 07 Oct '04

07 Oct '04

Bruce, Norbert: I tried to duplicate norbert's error with version 044 of horae. I used a multielement detector file frm MR-CAT and I noticed no problems or errors. I also tried Norbert's file and I noticed a couple of things. 1. Athena cannot find the column titles. In the MR-CAT data file, there is no problem with this. I tried removing the "#L " at the front of the title line in Norbert's file but still the titles cannot be parsed. 2. The first time I try to import the file, I have no errors apart form the warning that the data is not in order and must be sorted (the first line is the culprit). If I try to import the same file, the error occurs and the channel selection box is badly deformed (most buttons are missing and only 3 channels are noted). 3. I removed the out of order line (the first data line) and the imports worked fine more than once. There are still no titles. It looks like there are two issues here. One is that the out of order first line somehow messes up some internal variables in the program. In the past the "sort data" function seemed to work fine. The second issue is that Norbert's file is not compatible with Athena's parsing of column titles. I really don't know what the parameters are here so I can't say what the problem is but I will try to compare the MR-CAT multilelment files with this one to see what is going on. Norbert, it looks like you can prvent problems temporarily by jsut deleting the first data line. Carlo -- Carlo U.

Athena bug?
by Norbert Weiher 07 Oct '04

07 Oct '04

Bruce, I just upgraded to the newest package today - since then, athena does not like to import data files anymore... When I select a data set (which was possible to import with the older version), The "channel select" box appears totally small, and ATHENA dumps this error to the screen. I included a data file to test for your convenience. The channels to import are (10-22)/4 (fluorescence data). Hope its not a machine-typical thingie :) I still have the SuSE 8.2 installed and run on the latest IFEFFIT. Ah, sometimes importing the first set works (e.g. when reading multiple sets at once), but then it automatically crashes at the next set. Cheers, Norbert Nasty codebabbling follows...

horae 043 tarball
by Bruce Ravel 06 Oct '04

06 Oct '04

Hi folks, I just put a new tarball on SourceForge and on my web site. This new tarball will be of interest to the people following the development version of Artemis. There are only small changes to the stable codes in this tarball and I will not be building new Windows executables. This new tarball is really only about the development version of Artemis. I am almost finished with the features I am planning for this round of development. (See the Artemis page on my web site for the complete list of features planned for this round of the development branch.) Once I polish off the last major feature, we will go into a testing period. Once I am content, I'll build some trial Windows executables. Once I am content with that, I'll merge the new feature back into the stable branch. Among the new features in the development branch: 1. A revamped feff interpretation page with new functionality 2. A revamped atoms page with new functionality 3. Major improvements to the fit history system 4. Direct import of data from Athena project files 5. A new type of parameter on the GDS page -- an "after" parameter is like a def in that it takes a math expression, but it is not part of the fit and is evaluated only after the fit finishes and then is recorded in the log file 6. Lots of bug fixes and minor feature enhancements. Lots of neat new stuff. Have fun and let me know what goes splat. B P.S. Carlo, FYI, two new files: Ifeffit/lib/artemis.doc/artemis_fitinfo.pod and Tk/TextUndoQuiet.pm. -- Bruce Ravel ----------------------------------- ravel(a)phys.washington.edu Code 6134, Building 3, Room 405 Naval Research Laboratory phone: (1) 202 767 2268 Washington DC 20375, USA fax: (1) 202 767 4642 NRL Synchrotron Radiation Consortium (NRL-SRC) Beamlines X11a, X11b, X23b National Synchrotron Light Source Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973 My homepage: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel EXAFS software: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/
