new release of my codes (horae-057)
by Bruce Ravel 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

Hi folks, This morning I made a new release of the source code tarball for my codes as well as a new Windows updater. Matt and I finally have the update system organized well enough that I can actually release the source and the windows update on the same day. Yay! New tarballs are at SourceForge and on my web site. The Windows updater should run the next time you fire up one of the programs. Artemis and Hephaestus are unchanged. All the new stuff is in Athena (new version is 0.8.045). See http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/HoraeVersion057 for details. Most of the work was on the linear combination fitting tool and some improvements to the scheme for importing data in unusual file formats. There are a few other new tidbits and several bug fixes as well. One change which will be immediately obvious is that I split the controls for background removal parameters into two groups. The division is more or less between the more and less often used parameters. There are buttons for switching the display between the two groups of parameters. You'll see what I mean when you fire up Athena. The linear combination fitting has several fixes for bugs that people mentioned after the last release as well as a few new features. The scheme for importing data in unusual formats merits its own page on the wiki, which I'll post soon.

ATHENA: Encoder option missing?
by Norbert Weiher 05 Nov '05

Bruce, I just updated to the latest version of A&A. When I open a file it seems that the "encoder" option in the energy units is missing... Regards, Norbert -- Dr. rer. nat.

WG: [Ifeffit] hephaestus

hello bruce, i am a new user of your software. when i load the programm the following shows up lower right: Emin -200 and Emax 800. when i load data they are plotted with proper x-axis. but when i did any modification the scaling of x-axis changes to invalid or in-comfortable values. i can fix it by modifying Emin and Emax but to get an axis of 395 to 410 eV i have to type Emin -400 and Emax 18000. is that o.k. ? another question: will you or will someone of your group attend the CLS user meeting here in saskatoon in november. there is interest of other newcomers like me to get introduced into ATHENA. perhaps some arrangement such as coverage of additional hotel costst for staying a day longer or so could be made. kind greetings, peter Prof. Dr. Peter Leinweber Institute for Land Use Universitaet Rostock D-18051 Rostock Present address: Department of Soil Science University of Saskatchewan 51 Campus Drive SK S7N 5A8 Canada phone: 001-306-966-6866 fax: 001-306-966-6881 ----- Originalnachricht ----- Von: Bruce Ravel <bravel(a)anl.gov> Datum: Mittwoch, November 2, 2005 5:31 pm Betreff: [Ifeffit] hephaestus > > > Hi all, > > Today, in a conversation that Carlo, Matt, and I have been having, > Matt said the following: > > > I know some beamlines (PNC-CAT, for example) don't install > > Ifeffit/hephaestus on data collection machines because it uses too > > much memory (~40Mb+ on Win32). > > In fact, the only thing for which hephaestus uses Ifeffit is the f'/f" > utility.

hephaestus
by Bruce Ravel 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Hi all, Today, in a conversation that Carlo, Matt, and I have been having, Matt said the following: > I know some beamlines (PNC-CAT, for example) don't install > Ifeffit/hephaestus on data collection machines because it uses too > much memory (~40Mb+ on Win32). In fact, the only thing for which hephaestus uses Ifeffit is the f'/f" utility. None of the other tools in hephaestus make use of ifeffit in any way. Would there be some interest in a "hephaestus-lite"? That is, a version of hephaestus that does not include the f'/f" utility. Such a thing would have a much smaller footprint on the computer -- just whatever the perl interpreter requires, maybe 4 or 5 meg. If enough people express inetrest, I can inlcude thas in the distribution. I can even make a stand-alone distribution that installs only hephaestus-lite and the external files it needs to do its thing. That would be a much smaller beast (both in disk space and memory footprints) than the full ifeffit install.
